Known as "the father of American literature," what author's real name is Samuel Langhorne Clemens?

Heralded as "the father of American literature" by none other than William Faulkner, Mark Twain (aka, Samuel Langhorne Clemens) was a man of many trades. The 19th-century humorist, lecturer, publisher, entrepreneur, and writer launched his career with travel narratives, such as The Innocents Abroad and Roughing It. Later, arguably his best-known feats, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, made him a cherished writer the world over.
