Twain was a celebrity already during his life, even before than he himself could realize it. He is best known for his pieces - The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. His books provide insight into the past and the events of his personal life demonstrate his role as an eyewitness to history.
