  Mark Twain's works are characterized by their irreverent humor and realism of place and character.

His memorable characters, like Huckleberry Finn or Sir Boss, live on in the minds of his readers even today. Below you will find a list of his works-and although we haven't included all of them, like the all the stories he wrote for the various newspapers, there are all of his major works.
