The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
About This Novel
The story of the novel takes place in an ordinary town along the Mississippi River in the United States in the first half of the 19th century. The protagonist Tom Sawyer is innocent and lively, daring to explore, and pursues freedom. He cannot bear the boring life that restricts his personality and dreams of doing a heroic career. The novel is set before the Civil War, and although it is written in the small town of St. Petersburg, the town can be said to be a microcosm of American society at that time to some extent. Through the adventures of the protagonist, the novel satirizes and criticizes the hypocritical and vulgar social customs, hypocritical religious rituals and rigid and outdated school education in the United States, and describes the free and lively hearts of young children in a cheerful style.
