"Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together."
Mark Twain's short story, My Platonic Sweetheart, is a charming exploration of friendship and love in which the main character (believed to represent Twain) dreams of the same woman repeatedly throughout his lifetime. Across five dreams, the narrator and the woman take on different names, and the woman's appearance changes while their ages (he, seventeen, she, fifteen) remain the same. They never fail to recognise each other and their relationship always embodies the same deep, innocent affection. The story explores themes of memory, longing, and the timeless nature of platonic love.Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain (1835-1910), grew up along the banks of the Mississippi River, and his early experiences inspired many of his most famous works, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Widely celebrated as America's greatest humorist, Twain captured the spirit of a rapidly changing nation, and his sharp wit, keen eye for human nature, and gift for storytelling made him not only a beloved novelist but also a popular lecturer and essayist.
Twain's innovative style, character-driven storytelling and ability to interweave humour with profound social critique laid the groundwork for modern American literature and has inspired countless authors, including Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Indeed, Hemingway famously declared that "all modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn."
