The Prince and the Pauper - Mark Twain

Descriere & specificații

Mark Twain's classic tale of two boys, identical in appearance but not in class in English society, who switch identities was both a scathing attack upon social hypocrisy and injustice, and an irresistible comedy imbued with the sense of high-spirited play that appeared during his happiest creative period. Features a new Afterword. (May) nTwo boys exchange their clothes and their lives in Mark Twain's classic satiric comedy. n They are the same age. They look alike. In fact, there is but one difference between them: Tom Canty is a child of the London slums; Edward Tudor is heir to the throne of England. Just how insubstantial this difference really is becomes clear when a chance encounter leads to an exchange of roles...with the pauper caught up in the pomp and folly of the royal court, and the prince wandering, horror-stricken, through the lower depths of sixteenth-century English society. n nOut of the theme of switched identities, Mark Twain has fashioned both a scathing attack upon social hypocrisy and injustice and an irresistible comedy imbued with the sense of high-spirited play that belongs to his most creative period. n nWith an Afterword by Everett Emerson n
