The death of Sam’s father In 1847, the death of Sam’s father, brought an end to his carefree days. He had to go to work at the age of 12 as a printer’s apprentice. In three years he went to work as a printer for his brother Orion, publisher of the Hannibal Journal.

Famous book s of Mark Twain By December 1864, Mark Twain was forced to leave Virginia City after he and rival newspaper tried to settle a difference of opinion by fighting a duel. He went from Virginia City to San Francisco, a city shill caught up in the excitement of gold fever. While there he published a miner’s yarn, “ The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras Country “. The tale was an immediate success and it made the name of Mark Twain famous all over the USA.

Слайд 19

Famous book s of Mark Twain It was in Hartford, In the years between 1871 and 1891, that Twain wrote his two masterpieces: “ The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” (1876) and “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” (1884). These novels – together with other Twain writting of the period: “A Tramp abroad” – 1886, “The Prince and the Pauper” – 1882, “Life on the Mississippi” – 1883, and “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court – 1889, are felt by many critics to mark the beginning of modern American literature.

Слайд 20

Famous book s of Mark Twain All of Twain’s books are modeled from the days of his past; in most of them he is the hero. “Roughing It” and “Life on the Mississippi” are almost completely autobiographical; “ The Innocents Abroad” caricaturizes the gullible American tourist; “The Prince and the Pauper” expresses Twain’s hatred of injustice and of the need for mercy.

Слайд 21

Famous book s of Mark Twain As he grew older, Twain grew increasingly depressed and disillusioned by what called “Its damned human race”, and her later works such as “ Pudd’nhead Wilson” (1899) and “The Mysterious Stranger” ( published posthumously in 1916) mirror his growing bitterness. “The Mysterious Strange”, his last book, is an allegory that suggests that life is in reality only a dream.

Слайд 22

Quotes By Mark Twain A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain. A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read. A human being has a natural desire to have more of a good thing than he needs. A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval. All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure. Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more. Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest. An enemy can partly ruin a man, but it takes a good-natured injudicious friend to complete the thing and make it perfect. An Englishman is a person who does things because they have been done before. An American is a person who does things because they haven't been done before.

Слайд 23

Bankruptcy with debts Twain’s success as an author, public speaker, husband and father, was not reflected in his choice of business investments. In April 1894, he declared bankruptcy with debts totaling $ 94,000. Nevertheless, by 1898, true to his Midwest code of ethics Twain had paid off all his obligations, although during those 4 difficult intervening years he had endured the added burden of ill health and the death of his daughter, Suzy.

Слайд 24

Returning to the USA As the height of his fame, Twain and his family returned to the USA after nine years of self imposed exile. His popularity was so great that he was deluged with honours and invitation to lecture, and by the turn of the twentieth century, he was one of the best known public figures in the USA, and world- famous as well.

Слайд 25

Two personal losses The joy of his success, however, was dulled by two personal losses: the death of his wife in 1904 and his young daughter Jean, five years later (Suzy died at the age of 25). Twain had 4 children: 3 daughters and a son, Lengdone , who died in 1872 at the age of 2.

After the death of Mark T wain there are plenty of books . “I came in with Harlley’s Comet in 1835. It is coming againe next year, and I expect to go out with it”.

Слайд 27

My opinion about Mark Twain Mark Twain left his mark upon American literature. The stories he told still delight millions of people around the world. What he wrote was full of the gusto of the west and the colourful life he had known intimately and recorded as a student of human nature and the common life. What he left as an added legacy is the inspiration of a man, who rose above setbacks and tragedy to carry on, sustained by his indomitable spirit of creativity. I think that Маrk Twain was really a great poet. He was “for all time”. I suggest to my friends to read his great works.
