From the famous episodes of the whitewashed fence and the ordeal in the cave to the trial of Injun Joe, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is redolent of life in the Mississippi River towns in which Twain spent his own youth. A somber undercurrent flows through the high humor and unabashed nostalgia of the novel, however, for beneath the innocence of childhood lie the inequities of adult reality—base emotions and superstitions, murder and revenge, starvation and slavery

Tom Sawyer is one of the most endearing characters in American fiction. This wonderful book deals with all the challenges that any young person faces, and resolves them in exciting and unusual ways.
Like many young people, Tom would rather be having fun than going to school and church. This is always getting him into trouble, from which he finds unusual solutions. One of the great scenes in this book has Tom persuading his friends to help him whitewash a fence by making them think that nothing could be finer than doing his punishment for playing hooky from school. When I first read this story, it opened up my mind to the potential power of persuasion.
Tom also is given up for dead and has the unusual experience of watching his own funeral and hearing what people really thought of him. That's something we all should be able to do. By imagining what people will say at our funeral, we can help establish the purpose of our own lives. Mark Twain has given us a powerful tool for self-examination in this wonderful sequence.
Tom and Huck Finn also witness a murder, and have to decide how to handle the fact that they were not supposed to be there and their fear of retribution from the murderer, Injun Joe.
Girls are a part of Tom's life, and Becky Thatcher and he have a remarkable adventure in a cave with Injun Joe. Any young person will remember the excitement of being near someone they cared about alone in this vignette.
Tom stands for the freedom that the American frontier offered to everyone. His aunt Polly represents the civilizing influence of adults and towns. Twain sets up a rewarding novel that makes us rethink the advantages of both freedom and civilization. In this day of the Internet frontier, this story can still provide valuable lessons about listening to our inner selves and acting on what they have to say. Enjoy!

Das amerikanische Kinderbuch mit seinen lustigen wie unheimlichen Seiten ist Mark Twain gelungen.
Der grüne Umschlag ist zwar gewöhnungsbedürtig für Penguin, doch das Buch ist im Innern dasselbe geblieben.
Im Original klingt es noch versponnener, kommt die Kindersprache und der Südstaatenslang noch stärker zum Vorschein. Vielleicht muss man die eine oder andere Vokabel einfach überspringen, manchmal wünscht man sich Kommentare zum besseren Verständnis.
Doch eigentlich liest es sich genauso flüssig wie der Fluss, an dem die Geschichte spielt mit Aunt Polly, Becky Thatcher, Huckleberry Finn und all den anderen skurrilen und doch so rührend liebevoll-echt gezeichneten Figuren.
220 genussvolle Seiten.
