Pustolovine Toma Sawyera

Pustolovine Toma Sawyera

Mark Twain

Mark Twain's classic, set in the small Missouri town of St. Petersburg in the late 19th century. Through the eyes of mischievous boy Tom Sawyer, Twain imaginatively portrays boyhood, freedom, and adventures along the Mississippi River.

Tom is an orphan who lives with his Aunt Polly, his brother Sid and his friend Huck Finn, he is always in trouble: he lies, he runs away from school, he falls in love with Becky Thatcher. The famous episode of whitewashing the fence turns boredom into art - Tom persuades his friends to pay him for the "privilege". But the real adventures are coming: the boys swear allegiance as pirates on Jackson Island, find treasure in McDougal's cave, and witness the murder of Dr. Robinson by Injun Joe.

The novel celebrates the boy's imagination and describes a moral dilemma: Tom witnesses a crime, but is afraid to confess. He saves Becky from a cave where they are lost, and Joe runs away. The book criticizes the hypocrisy of adults, racism (through Joe) and social norms, but with humor and warmth.
