Features: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of Mark Twain's most representative novels and one of the works with the widest readership. The protagonist, Tom Sawyer, is a lively, imaginative, curious, and mischievous boy who opposes rote learning and rigid rules and conventions. Teenagers dream; dreams are like teenagers. The United States before the Civil War was like a boy heading westward and southward—full of vitality, reckless and lawless, stumbling forward—it nurtured a literary giant with a boyish heart and a wise mind, Mark Twain, and it shaped an adventurous boy, Tom Sawyer, who embodies "the realization of every child's dream." This book has always been cherished by children and is a dream for Tom, the boy for everyone!
