Subscribe/Renew Journal
Samuel Langhorne Clements popularly known by the pen name, Mark Twain drawn from the Mississippi river is such a versatile and prolific writer that he cannot easily be analysed and judged without having detailed information about his works and life along with those things which give inspiration and make influence in his writings. He is the man, who observes and explores the realities of life minutely and expresses them in his works. So, to know and to digest his work, experiences of his real life must be known very clearly. This paper makes a sincere attempt to bring out those qualities in Twain by which he is given the honour of being a novelist. For this purpose a special emphasis is given on his masterpiece. The adventures of Huckleberry Finn; this classic art of Mark twain justifies him as a novelist. Though he is a writer of many prose works, only one novel is selected to prove that the qualitative not the quantitative value is enough to analyse Twaina a novelist. It is such a fine work of literature that in it all those characteristics of Twain as a prose writer can be see clearly. The present paper delineates and throws light on those aspects of a novel employed by the novelist mark Twain.
