«The Prince and the Pauper» is Mark Twain's adventure novel, published by Alhambra in paperback (65 pages, in English).
In sixteenth-century England, two boys from opposite backgrounds meet and discover they are identical: Edward, Prince of Wales, and Tom Canty, a London beggar. They exchange clothes and roles, and the prince endures life on the streets while the beggar fears being discovered at court. A satire on social class, justice, and identity.
The original was published in 1881. This edition belongs to level 2 of Alhambra's Illustrated Classics series, designed for teaching English.
Recommended for English learners and young readers who want to approach a classic in an adapted and illustrated version.
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.
