The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (Collins Classics)

3.92 (838,883 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Mark Twain

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.

Now he found out a new thing namely, that to promise not to do a thing is the surest way in the world to make a body want to go and do that very thing.

An idyllic snapshot of a boys childhood along the banks of the Mississippi River, Twains The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is the authors work that comes closest to his boyhood experiences of growing up in Hannibal in the 1840s.

Mischievous and full of energy, Tom enjoys childish pranks and pastimes with his friends, Huck Finn, the town outcast and Joe Harper, his best friend. However, at the town graveyard, Huck and Tom witness a murder, carried out by local vagabond Injun Joe. They vow never to tell a soul about what they have seen and so begins their journey into adulthood as Tom wrestles with his own morality, guilt and anxiety.

A coming of age tale, it is through Toms adventures and relationships with others that he becomes more responsible and more aware of his own inner conflict. Through the central characters of Tom and Huck, Twain satirises the moral rigidity of society and adult hypocrisy, whilst at the same time giving a nostalgic portrayal of a young boys journey into adulthood.
