En savoir plus sur le livre
Perhaps the best-loved nineteenth-century American novel, <b>Mark Twain</b>’s tale of boyhood adventure overflows with comedy, warmth, and slapstick energy. It brings to life and array of irresistible characters—the awesomely self-confident Tom, his best buddy Huck Finn, indulgent Aunt Polly, and the lovely, beguiling Becky—as 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 Sawyer’s sunny surface lurk hints of a darker reality, of youthful innocence and naïveté confronting the cruelty, hypocrisy, and foolishness of the adult world—a theme that would become more pronounced in Twain’s <i>Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</i>. Despite such suggestions, Tom Sawyer remains Twain’s joyful ode to the endless possibilities of childhood. <b>H. Daniel Peck</b> is John Guy Vassar Professor of English at Vassar College and is the author of <i>Thoreau’s Morning Work</i> and <i>A World by Itself: The Pastoral Moment in Cooper’s Fiction</i>.
