Mark Twain

Mark Twains uppväxtskildring Tom Sawyers äventyr [The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, 1876] tillhör de mest älskade amerikanska romanerna genom tiderna. Tom Sawyer har rykte om sig att vara en upptågsmakare. Han bor med sin moster Polly i den djupt troende småstaden Saint Petersburg, men när de går i kyrkan roar han sig hellre med att uppvigla en skalbagge än att lyssna till predikan. Den sommar som skildras i Tom Sawyers äventyr ägnar han åt hyss och ungdomliga äventyr, ofta tillsammans med vännen Huckleberry Finn, som är »hjärtligt hatad och fruktad av alla stans mödrar«. I svensk översättning av Jan Ristarp. MARK TWAIN [1835-1910] var en amerikansk författare uppväxt i Missouri, som också utgör miljön i flera av hans romaner. Mest känd är han för de tidlösa uppväxtskildringarna Tom Sawyers äventyr [The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, 1876] och Huckleberry Finns äventyr [Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, 1884].
