Twain Mark

Book Description Hilariously picaresque, epic in scope, alive with the poetry and vigor of the American people, Mark Twain's story about a young boy and his journey down the Mississippi was the first great novel to speak in a truly American voice. Influencing subsequent generations of writers — from Sherwood Anderson to Twain's fellow Missourian, T.S. Eliot, from Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner to J.D. Salinger — Huckleberry Finn, like the river which flows through its pages, is one of the great sources which nourished and still nourishes the literature of America.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is a popular 1876 novel about a young boy growing up in the antebellum South. The story is set in the town of "St Petersburg", inspired by Hannibal, Missouri, where Mark Twain grew up.

 Эта детская книга, сюжет которой взят из средневековой английской истории, написана американским классиком XIX века. Марк Твен удивительно тонко стилизует английский язык под язык Старой Англии. После этой книги вам будет легче переходить к Шекспиру, не говоря уж о понимании исторических фильмов на английском! Адаптировали:  Андрей Бессонов и Алексей Попович
