Mark Twain

Explanation:

Mark Twain with Charles Dudley Warner wrote 'The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today' which was published in 1873. This novel is a satirical account of human greed juxtaposed with political corruption in post-Civil War America. In Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Twain explores the moral conflict in which Huck struggles to understand the values of the society where race and identity are predominant. In The Adventure of Tom Sawyer, Twain deals with humor and satire through the runaway boyhood who learns to smoke pipe. In Tom Sawyer Abroad, similar moral issues in high society is explored.
