The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer (in English)
Twain, Mark
Synopsis "The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer (in English)"
Tom did play hookey, and he had a very good time. He got back home barely in season to helpJim, the small colored boy, saw next-day's wood and split the kindlings before supper-at least hewas there in time to tell his adventures to Jim while Jim did three-fourths of the work. Tom'syounger brother (or rather half-brother) Sid was already through with his part of the work (pickingup chips), for he was a quiet boy, and had no adventurous, trouble-some ways.While Tom was eating his supper, and stealing sugar as opportunity offered, Aunt Polly asked himquestions that were full of guile, and very deep-for she wanted to trap him into damagingrevealments. Like many other simple-hearted souls, it was her pet vanity to believe she was endowedwith a talent for dark and mysterious diplomacy, and she loved to contemplate her most transparentdevices as marvels of low cunning. Said she: "Tom, it was middling warm in school, warn't it?""Yes'm.""Powerful warm, warn't it?""Yes'm.""Didn't you want to go in a-swimming, Tom?
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.
