Fearing for the safety of her young child’s life, a young slave called Roxy swaps her light-skinned baby with that of her master. Her master’s child grows up as a slave, while Roxy’s child grows up as a white man called “Tom” who becomes cruel and ends up leading a life crime. The book is a cutting indictment of a society based on racial prejudice and slavery brimming with Twain’s characteristic wit and irony. Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835–1910), more commonly known under the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, lecturer, publisher and entrepreneur most famous for his novels “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” (1876) and “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” (1884). Other notable works by this author include: “The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today” (1873) and “The Prince and the Pauper” (1881). Read & Co. Classics is proudly republishing this classic novel now in a new edition complete with a specially-commissioned biography of the author.
