Synopsis "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (in English)"

"Although my book is intended mainly for the entertainment of boys and girls, I hope it will not be shunned by men and women, for part of my plan has been to try to pleasantly remind adults of what they once were themselves, and of how they felt and thought and talked, and what queer enterprises they sometimes engaged in." -Mark Twain (1876) The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), a masterpiece of American literature by Mark Twain, describes the world of boyhood in nineteenth century rural America. It tells the adventures of Tom Sawyer, a young boy growing up along the Mississippi River. It is set in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, inspired by Hannibal, Missouri, where Twain lived as a boy. Tom Sawyer is full of mischief and adventures, often joined by his friend Huckleberry Finn.This jacketed hardcover replica of the original 1876 edition of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, with illustrations by True Williams, has enchanted readers of all ages throughout the times.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens, más conocido como Mark Twain, ha pasado a la historia de la literatura gracias al ingenio, humor y picardía que destila su obra. A menudo considerado el Dickens estadounidense, Twain fue periodista, tipógrafo, escritor y, sobre todo, un aventurero incansable. Su sed de aventuras lo llevó en un largo periplo lleno de experiencias: fue aprendiz de piloto, buscó fortuna en las minas de plata, recorrió el mundo dando conferencias y fue nombrado doctor honoris causa por la universidad de Oxford. Todo ello lo inspiró para empezar a escribir pequeños cuadernos de viaje que publicaba en la prensa. Se calcula que llegó a escribir más de 500 obras, entre las que destacan _Las aventuras de Huckelberry Finn_ y _Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer_: dos novelas en las que Twain evoca una infancia inocente y feliz, en la que brillan la ilusión y la rebeldía que preceden a la edad adulta. Mark Twain nació durante una de las apariciones del cometa Halley, y predijo que “se marcharía con él”. Efectivamente, el autor nos dejó el 21 de abril de 1910, a la estela de una nueva visita del cometa. ‍
