Tom Sawyer Abroad (in English)
Twain, Mark
Synopsis "Tom Sawyer Abroad (in English)"
Following the classic adventures of Tom Sawyer and his friend, Huckleberry Finn, we have Tom Sawyer Abroad, a humorous tale about Tom, Huck, and their friend Jim traveling to see the world's great wonders. Mark Twain, known as one of the great literary geniuses, is famous for his critical writing on the hypocrisies of the 19th century. Twain masterfully combines savage wit, comedic characters, and unique storytelling to create his works of fiction which, to this day, still influence literature.In Tom Sawyer Abroad Tom, Huck, and Jim travel to Africa, a place they have never been before, in a hot air balloon. There, they face dangers they've never encountered with a brave face in order to complete their great adventure of seeing of the Seven Wonders of the World.Twain was heavily inspired by the adventure stories written by Jules Verne, and Tom Sawyer Abroad was written as a parody of Verne's writing. This children's adventure novel, told through the eyes of Huck Finn, is a short read that is perfect for young kids but exciting enough to hold the attention of an older crowd just as well.
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.
