The Adventures of Tom Sawyer - by Mark Twain

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer celebrates boyhood at the same time that it cleverly reveals the workings of small-town America in the 1870's. Small-minded at times, generous in spirit at other times, it is filled with real-life crises of racism, class conflicts, and poverty prevalent at the time. Written by Mark Twain, who ranks among the great American realists because he scrupulously included so many sides of life in his works and refused to make the horrifying look palatable. In both Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, Mark Twain's genius comes through in his realistic depiction of the psychology and the moral development of his two young characters.
