Mark Twain escribió este libro ocho años después de que conociéramos al personaje en Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer. No es arriesgado afirmar que se trata de la obra maestra de Twain, una obra rebosante de ironia y de sano relativismo. Huck, educado en la moral de su epoca, sabe que deberia denunciar a Jim, el esclavo negro que, ante la amenaza de ser vendido, se dispone a huir. Y Huck sabe que, ayudando a escapar a un negro, esta pecando, y que por ese camino se condena. Pero, sin haber leido a Pascal, entiende perfectamente las razones del corazon, y se salta la moral en favor de la amistad y el buen sentido. Por fortuna, la historia ha dado la razon a Huck.

Este cuento nos narra la vida de Tom Sawyer, un joven que vive a las orillas de un río, en el pueblecito de Hannibal, así como de otros personajes tales como su amigo el pilluelo Huck Finn, de la bonita Becky Thartcher, del malvado indio Joe y de un sinnumero de otros mas.Durante este verano muy agitado, los muchachos se ven envueltos en un asesinato perpetrado en un cementerio a la luz de la luna, en un proceso criminal y en una huida desesperada. Encuentran un tesoro escondido, se extravian y se les da por perdidos y muertos en un laberinto de cavernas muy profundas. A lo largo de todas estas aventuras, Tom Swayer sigue siendo siempre el mismo: bien intencionado, perseguido por la mala suerte y amigo de meterse en lios.

This edition is accompanied by 83 unpublished illustrations.The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a very well-known and popular story concerning American youth. Mark Twains lively tale of the scrapes and adventures of boyhood is set in St. Petersburg, Missouri, where Tom Sawyer and his friend Huckleberry Finn have the kinds of adventures many boys can imagine: racing bugs during class, impressing girls, especially Becky Thatcher, with fights and stunts in the schoolyard, getting lost in a cave, and playing pirates on the Mississippi River. One of the most famous incidents in the book describes how Tom persuades his friends to do a boring, hateful chore for him: whitewashing (i.e., painting) a fence. This was the first novel to be written on a typewriter.
