Las Aventuras de Tom Sawyer

Mark Twain rose to popularity for his witty and often satirical observations on his times and surroundings, but this work opened the doors of literary history for him. The emotional evocation of the author's own childhood on the banks of the Mississippi River makes this novel one of the most beautiful and vital stories ever written about what it means to be a child, the illusions and rebellion that precede adulthood.

Most well known by his pen-name Mark Twain, he was an American writer, orator and humorist. He wrote works of great success and global fame like The prince and the Pauper or A Yankee in the Court of Ray Arthur, but is best known for his novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and its sequel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
