The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer spins around the young experiences of the novel's student hero, Thomas Sawyer, whose notoriety goes before him for causing wickedness and struggle. Tom lives with his Aunt Polly, relative Sid, and cousin Mary in the curious town of St. Petersburg, simply off the shore of the Mississippi River. St. Petersburg is depicted as a commonplace humble community environment where the Christian confidence is prevalent, the interpersonal organization is affectionate, and commonality dwells.
