Mark Twain

Japanese: マーク・トウェーン(英語表記)Mark Twain
Mark Twain
1835‐1910
One of the leading novelists of post-Civil War American realism. His real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens. Hemingway said that "all modern American literature originates from one book, Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," and this masterpiece established the truly American literary tradition. Born in an unnamed pioneer village in southwestern Missouri, far from the cultural traditions of the Old Continent, he described the unique experiences and character of the American people in fresh American English.

南北戦争後のアメリカ・リアリズム文学を代表する小説家の一人。本名クレメンズSamuel Langhorne Clemens。ヘミングウェーは〈すべての現代アメリカ文学はマーク・トウェーンの《ハックルベリー・フィンの冒険》という1冊の本に由来する〉と述べたが,真にアメリカ的な文学伝統は,彼のこの代表作によって確立された。旧大陸の文化伝統から遠く離れた南西部ミズーリ州の名もない開拓村に生まれた彼は,アメリカ国民独自の体験と性格を新鮮なアメリカ英語で描いた。
