Summary
The adventures of a mischievous young boy and his friends growing up in a Mississippi River town in the nineteenth century
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Perhaps the best-loved nineteenth-century American novel, Mark Twainâs tale of boyhood adventure overflows with comedy, warmth, and slapstick energy. It brings to life and array of irresistible charactersâthe awesomely self-confident Tom, his best buddy Huck Finn, indulgent Aunt Polly, and the lovely, beguiling Beckyâas well as such unforgettable incidents as whitewashing a fence, swearing an oath in blood, and getting lost in a dark and labyrinthine cave. Below Tom Sawyerâs sunny surface lurk hints of a darker reality, of youthful innocence and naïveté confronting the cruelty, hypocrisy, and foolishness of the adult worldâa theme that would become more pronounced in Twainâs Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Despite such suggestions, Tom Sawyer remains Twainâs joyful ode to the endless possibilities of childhood.
