Tom Sawyer's adventures Mark Twain

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is the story of a few months in the life of this boy who lives in a small town in the southwestern United States on the banks of the Mississippi. Raised by his aunt Polly who loves him from her heart but subjects him to a discipline that is absurd and unpleasant. Tom looks at the world in a very different way than the adults he has to live with. Precisely because there is such distance, he entertains us with his funny and noble reactions, together with his friend Huckleberry Finn, Tom's ideal companion, they will live humorous and dramatic adventures from which they will be able to emerge more gracefully than any adult could have done.
