The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

"The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" — a book unique in many ways, it is a cornerstone of all American prose. It belongs to the number of rare works that we first encounter in childhood, do not part with throughout our lives, and return to again and again.
In the story of the escapades of a mischievous boy-dreamer, we discover the biting wit of Mark Twain, his sharp satire, and the extraordinary vividness in the description of the way of life, mores, and unique atmosphere of the American South.
