Casi todo el mundo sabe hoy quien es Mark Twain, pero pocos saben que su verdadero nombre era Samuel Langhorne Clemens y que nació prematuramente en Florida, en el Estado de Missouri, en 1835. A los veinte años, tras haber sido tipógrafo en un pueblo del Mississipi, vagabundeaba ya por el Estado de Nevada en busca de plata, que jamás encontró, y a los 35, era hombre casado y célebre. Inquieto, aventurero y vital en su juventud, en la madurez, no contento con el éxito como escritor, cayó presa del afán de dinero, que le llevó a arruinarse en más de una ocasión y a alejarse de su mujer y de sus hijas. Su vida fue la de un hombre contradictorio, eternamente insatisfecho. Treinta y siete volúmenes ocupa su obra completa, lo cual nos indica lo poco que sabemos del creador de los inefables Tom Sawyer y Huckleberry Finn, compañeros inseparables de nuestra infancia.
