Which American author wrote 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'?

The American author who wrote 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' was Mark Twain.

Mark Twain was the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, a Missouri-born writer whose fiction drew heavily on life along the Mississippi River. 'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' follows Huck, a boy who travels down the river with Jim, an enslaved man seeking freedom. Huck narrates the story in a distinctive regional voice.

Twain wrote the novel between 1876 and 1883. It was first published in the United Kingdom and Canada in 1884, followed by its first American edition in 1885. The book is often regarded as a landmark of American literature because of its use of vernacular speech and its sharp satire of slavery and social hypocrisy.

Readers sometimes confuse the novel's author with John Steinbeck because both wrote major works about hardship and American society. F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway were also influential American writers, but neither created Huck Finn. Twain introduced Huck in 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer', published in 1876.
