Seller Description
Introduction and Notes by H. Daniel Peck Perhaps the best-loved nineteenth-century American novel, Mark Tirain's take of boyhood achenture overflous with comedy; warmth, and slapstick energ: The Adcentures of Tom Sayer offers an array of irresistible characters-the awesomely self-confident Tom, his best buddy Huck Finn, his indulgent Aunt Polly; and the lovely; beguiling Becky: And Tom finds himself at the center of unforgettable incidents-whitewashing Polly's fence, swearing a blood oath, and getting lost in a dank and labyrinthine cave. But below Tom Sawyer's sunny surface lurk hints of a darker reality, of youthful innocence and naivete confronting the enuelty. hypocrisy; and foolishness of the adult world. Though Twain left his deepest moral explorations for Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the celebrated sequel to Tom Sawyer, Tom and Hucks first adventure remains Tirains most gratifying amusement, and a joyful ode to the endless possibilities of childhood. H. Daniel Peck is John Guy Vassar Professor of English at Vassar College and the author of Thoreau's Morning Work and A World by Itself. The Pastoral Moment in Cooper's Fiction.
