Hardback. Zustand: Good. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is a classic coming-of-age novel that immerses readers in the sights, sounds and smells of a small Missouri town in the mid-nineteenth century. As readers follow the misadventures of mischievous young protagonist Tom Sawyer, they are transported to a world of lush greenery, fresh river water and creaking wooden fences. The novel opens with the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves as Tom sneaks out of his bedroom window to meet his friend Huckleberry Finn. As the boys explore the town and its surroundings, readers are treated to the salty smell of the Mississippi River, the cloying sweetness of honey stolen from a beehive and the musty odor of a haunted house. Tom runs away from home to an island in the river, chases Injun Joe and his treasure, and even gets trapped in a cave for days with Becky Thatcher. The book is one of Mark Twain's most beloved stories. ​Twain's masterful use of sensory details is particularly evident in his descriptions of the town's lively characters. The reader can practically hear the raucous laughter of the rowdy boys in Tom's gang, the clanging of the blacksmith's hammer, and the shrill voice of Tom's aunt Polly as she scolds him for his misbehavior. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a delightful sensory feast that transports readers to a simpler time, immersing them in a brilliantly nostalgic mid-nineteenth century world.

The story of Tom, Huck, Becky, and Aunt Polly; a tale of adventures, pranks, playing hookey, and summertime fun. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer was neither a critical nor a financial success when it was first published in 1876. It was Mark Twain's first novel. "He was not the Model Boy of the village. He knew the model boy very well though--and loathed him." Since then Tom Sawyer has become his most popular work, enjoying dramatic, film, and even Broadway musical interpretations. Tom Sawyers appears in three other novels by Twain: "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" (1884), "Tom Sawyer Abroad" (1894), and "Tom Sawyer, Detective" (1896). Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. He is noted for his novels Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), called "the Great American Novel", and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876).Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain, grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, which would later provide the setting for Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. He apprenticed with a printer. He also worked as a typesetter and contributed articles to his older brother Orion's newspaper. After toiling as a printer in various cities, he became a master riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River, before heading west to join Orion. He was a failure at gold mining, so he next turned to journalism. While a reporter, he wrote a humorous story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," which proved to be very popular and brought him nationwide attention. His travelogues were also well-received. Twain had found his calling.He achieved great success as a writer and public speaker. His wit and satire earned praise from critics and peers, and he was a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists, and European royalty. Born during a visit by Halley's Comet, he died on its return. He was lauded as the "greatest American humorist of his age", and William Faulkner called Twain "the father of American literature". 223 pp. Geiger, Paul (illustrator). …
