This 1881 novel about a poor boy, Tom Canty, who exchanges identities with Edward Tudor, the prince of England, is at once an adventure story, a fantasy of timeless appeal, and an intriguing example of the author's abiding preoccupation with separating the true from the false, the genuine from the impostor. Included is the story "A Boy's Adventure," written as part of the novel but published separately.
Hank Morgan awakens one morning to find he has been transported from nineteenth-century New England to sixth-century England and the reign of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Morgan brings to King Arthurs utopian court the ingenuity of the future, resulting in a culture clash that is at once satiric, anarchic, and darkly comic. Critically deemed one of Twains finest and most caustic works, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court is both a delightfully entertaining story and a disturbing analysis of the efficacy of government, the benefits of progress, and the dissolution of social mores. It remains as powerful a work of fiction today as it was upon its first publication in 1889.
Twain published this novel himself in collaboration with the firm of James R. Osgood. A satiric costume novel full of mock-elegant language and convoluted plot elements, THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER was a critical and financial failure in its day, and a personal disaster for Twain.

Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer es el relato de unos meses en la vida de este niño que vive en una ciudad pequeña del suroeste de Estados Unidos a orillas del Mississippi. Criado por su tía Polly que lo quiere de corazon pero que lo somete a una disciplina que se le hace absurda y desagradable Tom contempla el mundo de una manera muy distinta a como lo hacen los adultos con los que tiene que convivir. Precisamente porque existe ese distanciamiento nos entretiene con sus reacciones divertidas y nobles. Mas agreste y rebelde contra ese universo de las personas mayores es su amigo Huckleberry Finn el compañero ideal de Tom que es envidiado por los demas niños que contemplan en su vida una forma de existencia que a ellos les gustaria llevar. Juntos viviran aventuras humoristicas y dramaticas de las que podran salir mas airosos de lo que hubiera podido hacerlo cualquier adulto. Al final --siquiera en apariencia- tanto Tom como Huck acabaran siendo conducidos a ese contexto de personas que creceran y dejaran de ser niños.

Twain was a master at rendering colloquial speech and helped to create and popularize a distinctive American literature built on American themes and language. Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. He wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), the latter often called "the Great American Novel."
