In 16th-century England, two identical boys from opposite worlds—a prince and a pauper—accidentally swap lives. As one discovers the harshness of poverty, the other experiences the power and intrigue of royalty. With irony and sensitivity, Mark Twain portrays social inequality and the value of mercy in this unforgettable adventure that reflects the contrasts between wealth and poverty through the eyes of two children. This edition, published by Ediciones Rialp as part of their «Clásicos para jóvenes» collection, is an excellent opportunity to introduce younger readers to one of the masterpieces of world literature.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, and essayist. He has been praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced", with William Faulkner calling him "the father of American literature". Twain's novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), with the latter often called the "Great American Novel". He also wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894) and cowrote The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873) with Charles Dudley Warner.
