Mark Twain was an American author and humorist known for his satire and social commentary. Although he is most famous for his novel “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”, I don’t have enough information about him to provide a more detailed introduction.
The recommended books showcase various styles, including classic literature with a focus on historical context and literary analysis, such as The Life of Samuel Johnson and Selected Dialogues of Plato. Other works, like Gulliver’s Travels, blend satire and utopian/dystopian fiction, while also featuring notable poetry collections like The Works of Alfred Lord Tennyson.
