Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - DO you reckon Tom Sawyer was satisfied after all them adventures? I mean the adventures we had down the river, and the time we set the darky Jim free and Tom got shot in the leg. No, he wasn't. It only just p'isoned him for more. That was all the effect it had. You see, when we three came back up the river in glory, as you may say, from that long travel, and the village received us with a torchlight procession and speeches, and everybody hurrah'd and shouted, it made us heroes, and that was what Tom Sawyer had always been hankering to be. For a while he WAS satisfied. Everybody made much of him, and he tilted up his nose and stepped around the town as though he owned it. Some called him Tom Sawyer the Traveler, and that just swelled him up fit to bust. You see he laid over me and Jim considerable, because we only went down the river on a raft and came back by the steamboat, but Tom went by the steamboat both ways. The boys envied me and Jim a good deal, but land! they just knuckled to the dirt before TOM.

Autorenporträt
Mark Twain was a prolific American author and humourist born in Florida, Missouri, in 1835. His real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, but he adopted the pen name Mark Twain in the 1860s, which became his public persona. Twain's writing style was characterized by his use of colloquial language, wit and satire, which often made social and political commentary. He is considered one of the greatest American writers, and his works are known for their humour, social commentary and insight into the human condition. Some of Twain's most famous works include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Prince and the Pauper and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. His writing often addressed themes of social injustice, morality and the importance of individual freedom. In addition to his writing, Twain was also a prolific lecturer and public speaker, and his witty remarks and humorous stories were widely popular. Twain's personal life was marked by tragedy, including the loss of his wife and two of his children. He died in 1910 at the age of 74, but his legacy as a writer and humourist continues to live on, and his influence can be seen in the works of many modern writers.
