Las Aventuras De Tom Sawyer: Novela Mark Twain

Publisher Marketing: Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer es el relato de unos meses en la vida de este nino que vive en una ciudad pequena del suroeste de Estados Unidos a orillas del rio Misisipi. Criado por su tia 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 companero ideal de Tom que es envidiado por los demas ninos 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." Contributor Bio:  Twain, Mark Mark Twain, born Samuel Langhorne Clemens, was an American humorist and writer, who is best known for his enduring novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which has been called the Great American Novel. Raised in Hannibal, Missouri, Twain held a variety of jobs including typesetter, riverboat pilot, and miner before achieving nationwide attention for his work as a journalist with The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. He earned critical and popular praise for his wit and enjoyed a successful career as a public speaker in addition to his writing. Twain s works were remarkable for his ability to capture colloquial speech, although his adherence to the vernacular of the time has resulted in the suppression of his works by schools in modern times. Twain s birth in 1835 coincided with a visit by Halley s Comet, and Twain predicted, accurately, that he would go out with it as well, dying the day following the comet s return in 1910.
