In a knockout performance, he doesn't so much as read Twain's words as he does rejoice in them, delighting in the hijinks of Tom - whom he lovingly refers to as a "great scam artist" and "true American hero".

One of Mark Twain’s classic tales, a small band of boys in a medieval village make friends with a very real angel whose name is Satan. He assures the boys that he’s not The Satan, but his nephew. He looks like a boy of their own age, but his magical powers and unusual perspectives on morals and mankind leave the boys amazed and bewildered. Mark Twain never finished this story to his own satisfaction. In 1916, his biographer and friend Albert Bigelow Paine, with fellow author Frederick Duneka, added an evil astrologer and devised an ending, and published the version presented here.

Il libro nasce come libro per ragazzi nel 1876.

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....

La vida en Saint Petersburg, un pequeño pueblo situado a orillas del Mississippi, al suroeste de Estados Unidos, es tan tranquila que incluso puede resultar aburrida. Pero Tom Sawyer, un muchacho curioso y travieso, se entretiene con cualquier hecho cotidiano, como pintar una valla, o no tan cotidiano, como perseguir a un malvado asesino o ir en busca de un tesoro, acompañado de su inseparable amigo Huck. Así, Tom es un niño idealista y sensible que cree en la justicia y Huck es un fiel defensor de la libertad, quien, al haber sido abandonado por sus padres, vaga por las calles y es cuestionado por la mirada prejuiciosa de los adultos.
