Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These four timeless classics of American fiction explore the trials of growing up and the hypocrisies of nineteenth-century American life. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Escaping society, Huckleberry Finn and a runaway slave named Jim take a log raft down the Mississippi River. Their adventures draw them closer together until Huck must make a fateful choice between Jim’s freedom and his own salvation. One of the first major novels written in an American vernacular, Mark Twain’s masterpiece is an essential part of the United States’ national identity. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer: This tale of youth and friendship celebrates life on the Mississippi River with humor and thoughtful consideration of issues such as race, religion, and social taboos. Filled with schoolyard pranks, buried treasure, spooky caves, secret gangs, and grave robbers, this highly entertaining novel boasts a cast of immortal characters, including Huckleberry Finn, Becky Thatcher, Aunt Polly, and the Widow Douglas. The Prince and the Pauper:Set in sixteenth-century England, this historical fable tells the story of a prince and a peasant boy who meet by chance and discover their strikingly similar appearances. The two then craft a plot that could unwittingly upend the monarchy: to temporarily switch clothes, thereby swapping lives. Pudd’nhead Wilson:An enslaved woman switches her infant son with her master’s child. A New York lawyer moves to the South and is immediately and forever branded a “pudd’nhead.” Two Italian noblemen in Missouri become suspects in the murder of a local judge. From these disparate plot strands, Twain fashions a humorous tale of mystery—and a clear-eyed indictment of slavery.

This book was released on 2022-10-25 with total page 8476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Faulkner called him "the father of American literature". His novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), the latter of which has often been called the "Great American Novel". Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer. He was lauded as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced". A complete bibliography of Twain's works is nearly impossible to compile because of the vast number of pieces he wrote (often in obscure newspapers) and his use of several different pen names. Additionally, a large portion of his speeches and lectures have been lost or were not recorded; thus, the compilation of Twain's works is an ongoing process. Researchers rediscovered published material as recently as 1995 and 2015. A gifted raconteur, distinctive humorist, and irascible moralist, he transcended the apparent limitations of his origins to become a popular public figure and one of America’s best and most beloved writers.

Download or read book Pudd nhead Wilson and Other Tales written by Mark Twain and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-02-26 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894) was Mark Twain's last serious work of fiction, and perhaps the only real novel that he ever produced. Written in a more sombre vein than his other Mississippi writings, the novel reveals the sinister forces that Mark Twain felt to be threatening the American dream. In spite of a plot which includes child swapping, palmistry, and a pair of Italian twins, this astringent work also raises the serious issue of racial differences. This volume also includes two other late works `Those Extraordinary Twins' and `The Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg'. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Book excerpt: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is an 1876 novel about a young boy growing up along the Mississippi River. The story is set in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, inspired by Hannibal, Missouri, where Twain lived. Tom Sawyer lives with his Aunt Polly and his half-brother Sid. Tom dirties his clothes in a fight and is made to whitewash the fence the next day as punishment. He cleverly persuades his friends to trade him small treasures for the privilege of doing his work. He then trades the treasures for Sunday School tickets which one normally receives for memorizing verses, redeeming them for a Bible, much to the surprise and bewilderment of the superintendent who thought "it was simply preposterous that this boy had warehoused two thousand sheaves of Scriptural wisdom on his premises-a dozen would strain his capacity, without a doubt." Tom falls in love with Becky Thatcher, a new girl in town, and persuades her to get "engaged" by kissing him. But their romance collapses when she learns Tom has been "engaged" previously to Amy Lawrence. Shortly after Becky shuns him, he accompanies Huckleberry Finn to the graveyard at night, where they witness the murder of Dr. Robinson. About the Author After the Civil War, Samuel Clemens (1835-1910) left his small town to seek work as a riverboat pilot. As Mark Twain, the Missouri native found his place in the world.
