By: Mark TWAIN (1835 - 1910)
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (published 1876)
is a very well-known and popular story concerning American youth. Mark
Twain's lively tale of the scrapes and adventures of boyhood is set in
St. Petersburg, Missouri, where Tom Sawyer and his friend Huckleberry
Finn have the kinds of adventures many boys can imagine: racing bugs
during class, impressing girls, especially Becky Thatcher, with fights
and stunts in the schoolyard, getting lost in a cave, and playing
pirates on the Mississippi River.
One of the most famous incidents in the book describes how Tom persuades his friends to do a boring, hateful chore for him: whitewashing (i.e., painting) a fence.
This was the first novel to be written on a typewriter.
