Along with Black and Dickens, Mark Twain is considered one of the nineteenth century's greatest chroniclers of childhood. These two novels reveal different aspects of his genius: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a much-loved story about the sheer pleasure of being young; The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the book Hemingway said was the source of all the American fiction that followed it, is both a hilarious account of an incorrigible truant and a tremendous parable of innocence in conflict with the fallen adult world. The main characters, who are perhaps more widely known than even their author, are both similar to and different from each other, revealing in their thoughts and adventures a wide range of childhood emotions and experiences that have touched readers of all ages.

Work Description
THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER
Take a lighthearted, nostalgic trip to a simpler time, seen through the eyes of a very special boy named Tom Sawyer. It is a dreamlike summertime world of hooky and adventure, pranks and punishment, villains and first love, filled with memorable characters. Adults and young readers alike continue to enjoy this delightful classic of the promise and dreams of youth from one of America’s most beloved authors.
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
He has no mother, his father is a brutal drunkard, and he sleeps in a barrel. He’s Huck Finn—liar, sometime thief, and rebel against respectability. But when Huck meets a runaway slave named Jim, his life changes forever. On their exciting flight down the Mississippi aboard a raft, the boy nobody wanted matures into a young man of courage and conviction. As Ernest Hemingway said of this glorious novel, “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn.”
