In the novel "Miraculous Clouds" we meet a young woman, Josee, who vainly resists her husband's sick jealousy and her insatiable passion.
Her husband Alan cut her off from the world, not because he loved her, but because he didn't love the world and was dragging her along with him into his personal, self-centered madness.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is the first truly realistic children's novel, not only in American but also in world children's literature. Twain's most famous work and a favorite children's book in which the writer described his boyhood experiences.
