Mid-18th century, the town with the name of St. Petersburg. America, where no factories, no railroads, and instead of houses with gardens chickens roam. Pious province, where Aunt Polly, alone raising a Tom Sawyer, is not taken for the rod. Not matched their severity text of scripture.
Exacting province. Where children do during the holidays continue to cram the Bible verses in Sunday school.
Not a rich province, where a strange boy, a weekday walk in his shoes, looks sassy dandy, whom Tom certainly can not teach.
It is very tempting to run away from school and swim in the Mississippi River, although cautiously sewn Aunt Polly's shirt collar, and if not exemplary demure Sid - half-brother Tom, uglyadevshy - again, that the thread on the collar changed the color, everything was all sewn-hush .

After a while Tom Still

of it falls at midnight, not
Unearth the rotten trunk
full of diamonds?

Most of the adventure, which are explained in this book are drawn from life: one - two experienced by the author himself, the others - the boys who studied with him in school.
Tom was an ordinary American alchishkoy, nutty, naughty, restless ydumschik. Hero captivating ingenuity and simplicity, enterprise and curiosity.
Huck Finn is described from nature, Tom Sawyer is a combination of features taken from the three boys.

In the end, of course, the case of "happy ending." Treasure found Huck takes on education Widow Douglas.
But Huck was not a burden on the shoulder of civilization. Tom convinces Huck barely
patient while he organizes bandit gang - because thieves are always notable people, more counts and dukes, and the presence of a gang of ragamuffin strongly undermine its prestige.
Further biography boy completes the author would have been a biography of a man and, we would add, probably would have lost perhaps the main charm of children's play: easy
characters and "fixable" anything. In the world of "Tom Sawyer" all the wrongs inflicted disappear, the dead are forgotten, and the villains are deprived of the complicating features that are inevitably mixed into our hatred compassion.
