This book is the representative work of American writer Mark Twain. It describes that the prince Edward and the pauper Tom changed places with each other through a strange coincidence. The prince became a pauper and the pauper became a prince. Pauper Tom wears the prince's clothes and enjoys all the glory and wealth in the palace, and becomes the new king of England. But the real prince Edward wandered around and had to endure poverty and the bullying and ridicule of beggars. With the help of the good man Holden, Prince Edward went through many disasters, corrected his bad habits, and finally returned to the palace. Under the condemnation of his conscience, Pauper Tom returned the throne that did not belong to him to the real prince. After that, Edward became a benevolent monarch and lived a happy life with his people. The story is extremely imaginative and the language is humorous. While bringing happiness to children, it can greatly stimulate children's imagination and yearning for purity, kindness and beautiful things.
Reader comments
The most valuable thing is that after becoming a prince, Tom could not forget his original intention, not be self-willed and enjoy wealth excessively, and he also broadened his horizons and learned etiquette, talking and laughing with ease. After Edward became a street boy, he did not give up on himself and follow the world, but lived with the dignity of a king. I also learned to put down my personal values and experience the lives of people in poor areas. The characters also appropriately satirize the corrupt officials, harsh policies, uneducated children, etc.
A classic is a classic, and the more you listen to it, the more you love it.
The sharp contrast in this book is very strong. In the end, the gap between the rich and the poor is very big.
It is a really good book, the characters are described in detail, and the description of human relations and the world is very accurate.
"The Prince and the Pauper" very well restores the lives of the British aristocrats and paupers in the Middle Ages. The book contains both satire on the court and compassion for the common people at that time. Both the historical figures and historical events in the book have a certain degree of authenticity and rigor. This is why this book is so classic and so popular.
What Tom did was respectable. Would most people do this today?
This book is really beautiful
A great novel that expresses profound truths in concise and clear words
