Beschreibung

Chiltern Publishing was formed in 2018 with a vision to create the most beautiful classics. Using a perfect mix of tradition and the very latest in printing techniques, 19th Century quality has met 21st Century technology. With wonderfully detailed covers, sparkling gilt edges, creamy pages, and stitched binding they are the most beautiful classics ever published. The Prince and the Pauper is a novel by American author Mark Twain. The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain tells the story of Edward Tudor, Prince of Wales and King Henry VIII's son and heir to his throne. He and a pauper named Tom Canty switch clothing, and everyone mistakes one of them for the other because of their identical looks, laughing at Edward's claims of being a prince. The moral lesson of "The Prince and the Pauper" by Mark Twain is that true nobility comes from within, and not from one's social status or wealth. The story teaches us that people should not be judged based on their external appearance, but rather on their character, actions, and values.

Autor

Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist and essayist. He was praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced," with William Faulkner calling him "the father of American literature." Twain is noted for his novels, Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn, which has been called the "The Great American Novel" and The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer. He also wrote poetry, short stories, essays, and non-fiction. Twain was raised in Hannibal, Missouri, which later provided the setting for both Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. He served an apprenticeship with a printer early in his career, and then worked as a typesetter, contributing articles to his older brother Orion Clemens' newspaper. He wrote both fiction and non-fiction. As his fame grew, he became a much sought-after speaker. His wit and satire, both in prose and in speech, earned praise from critics and peers, and Twain was a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists, and European royalty.
