Publisher Description
Il libro nasce come libro per ragazzi nel 1876. Attraverso il racconto delle avventure di Tom Sawyer, che insegue i suoi sogni, la sua fantasia, e la libertà dagli schemi, ritroviamo le superstizioni, la magia, il modo di vivere dei piccoli paesi lungo il Mississipi. E dunque, basta credere che si troverà un tesoro nascosto, per poi trovarlo?
Sembra proprio di sì, secondo Mark Twain. Ma il tesoro più importante, che si trova nelle pagine di questo libro, è l'amicizia , che ispira Tom in tutte le sue scelte, e che fu una così grande risorsa nell'alleviare gli ultimi anni di sofferenza della vita di Mark Twain. Traduzione e lettura di Silvia Cecchini. Musica di Kevin Mac Leod.

"The book, The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer was a great book. Even though it was really short it was good. Its about Tom and his friend. They saw a murder happen but they wanted to keep it a secret. They knew who the real killer was but they didn't want to get involved. They followed the killer and tried to see what he was doing at all times. They traveled through the ocean and on land. While all of this was happening there was a girl named Becky. Tom had a crush on Becky. Becky always got mad at Tom for different reasons. It was Becky's birthday and they went exploring through caves. They got lost and they were stuck in there. They had to find their way out. The killer was in the cave to. He died of starvation. I think this book was a very well written comic book. I think that it told a good story. This book didn't bore me and I was persuaded to keep reading it. I think that it was a perfect book because it was short and it didn't take me forever to read. This book kind of reminds me of something that happened in my life. One time my brother broke my sister Nikkis computer and he didn't tell her because he knew she would get mad. My brother who broke it tried to blame it on my other brother. Then my sister got mad at my brother who didn't break it. There was this big fight over who broke it and who didn't break it. I was the only one that knew the truth but I kept my mouth closed cause I didn't wanna rat anyone out. Overall I thought it was a really good book."

About Mark Twain
Mark Twain, pseudonym of Samuel L. Clemens (1835–1910), was born in Florida, Missouri, and grew up in Hannibal on the west bank of the Mississippi River. He attended school briefly and then at age thirteen became a full-time apprentice to a local printer. When his older brother Orion established the Hannibal Journal, Samuel became a compositor for that paper and then, for a time, an itinerant printer. With a commission to write comic travel letters, he traveled down the Mississippi. Smitten with the riverboat life, he signed on as an apprentice to a steamboat pilot. After 1859, he became a licensed pilot, but two years later the Civil War put an end to the steam-boat traffic.
In 1861, he and his brother traveled to the Nevada Territory where Samuel became a writer for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise, and there, on February 3, 1863, he signed a humorous account with the pseudonym Mark Twain. The name was a river man’s term for water “two fathoms deep” and thus just barely safe for navigation.
In 1870 Twain married and moved with his wife to Hartford, Connecticut. He became a highly successful lecturer in the United States and England, and he continued to write.
