The Adventures of Tom Sawyer revolves around the youthful adventures of the novel's schoolboy protagonist, Thomas Sawyer, whose reputation precedes him for causing mischief and strife. Tom lives with his Aunt Polly, half-brother Sid, and cousin Mary in the quaint town of St. Petersburg, just off the shore of the Mississippi River. St. Petersburg is described as a typical small-town atmosphere where the Christian faith is predominant, the social network is close-knit, and familiarity resides.  Unlike his brother Sid, Tom receives "lickings" from his Aunt Polly; ever the mischief-maker, would rather play hooky than attend school and often sneaks out his bedroom window at night to adventure with his friend, Huckleberry Finn ­ the town's social outcast. Tom, despite his dread of schooling, is extremely clever and would normally get away with his pranks if Sid were not such a "tattle-tale."  As punishment for skipping school to go swimming, Aunt Polly assigns Tom the chore of whitewashing the fence surrounding the house. In a brilliant scheme, Tom is able to con the neighborhood boys into completing the chore for him, managing to convince them of the joys of whitewashing. At school, Tom is equally as flamboyant, and attracts attention by chasing other boys, yelling, and running around. With his usual antics, Tom attempts to catch the eye of Becky Thatcher, a new girl in town, and persuades her to get "engaged" by kissing him. But their romance collapses when she learns Tom has been "engaged" previously to Amy Lawrence. Shortly after Becky shuns him, he accompanies Huckleberry Finn to the graveyard at night, where they witness the murder of Dr. Robinson.Excerpt:"TOM!" No answer. "TOM!" No answer. "What's gone with that boy,  I wonder? You TOM!" No answer. The old lady pulled her spectacles down and looked over them about the room; then she put them up and looked out under them. She seldom or never looked through them for so small a thing as a boy; they were her state pair, the pride of her heart, and were built for "style," not service—she could have seen through a pair of stove-lids just as well. She looked perplexed for a moment, and then said, not fiercely, but still loud enough for the furniture to hear: "Well, I lay if I get hold of you I'll—" She did not finish, for by this time she was bending down and punching under the bed with the broom, and so she needed breath to punctuate the punches with. She resurrected nothing but the cat. "I never did see the beat of that boy!"

Les Aventures de Tom Sawyer

Jeune Homme – J’ai réfléchi. Vieil Homme – Vous voulez dire que vous avez tenté de modifier votre jugement – à titre d’expérience ? J.H. – Oui.V.H. – Et vous y êtes parvenu ? J.H. – Non. Il reste tel qu’en lui-même, il est impossible à changer. V.H. – Je suis désolé, mais vous pouvez constater par vous- même que votre cerveau n’est qu’une machine et rien de plus. Votre n’avez sur lui aucune autorité, il n’a aucune autorité sur lui-même – il est mu et agi UNIQUEMENT DE L’EXTÉRIEUR. C’est la loi de sa fabrication ; c’est la loi de toute machine. J.H. – Pourrais-je JAMAIS changer un de ces jugements automatiques ? V.H. – Non. Vous ne le pouvez pas vous-même mais des INFLUENCES EXTÉRIEURES peuvent y parvenir. J.H. – Uniquement EXTÉRIEURES ? V.H. – Oui – uniquement des influences extérieures. J.H. – Il s’agit là d’une position insoutenable, j’irais jusqu’à dire ridiculement insoutenable.L’Homme, c’est quoi ?, dialogue platonicien annonçant le théâtre contemporain, interroge le propre de l’espèce humaine. Publié aux États-Unis en 1906, il compose avec Lettres de la Terre et L’Étranger mystérieux une « trilogie » nihiliste qui a marqué l’histoire littéraire américaine. L’Homme, c’est quoi ? est présenté dans une nouvelle traduction intégrale de Freddy Michalski réalisée par Freddy Michalski.

De la religion

Mark Twain nous decrit, avec beaucoup de talent, les frasques et mesaventures de Tom Sawyer, jeune garcon a l'esprit vif et debordant d'imagination, eleve par sa tante, au bord du Mississipi. Tom ne loupe pas une occasion de se distinguer pour plaire a la jolie Becky, et il est toujours pret pour vivre des aventures en compagnie de son inseparable ami Huckleberry Finn, fils de l'ivrogne du village. Un soir dans un cimetiere, Tom et Huck sont temoins d'un meurtre. Muff Potter est accuse du crime, mais Tom et Huck savent que le veritable assassin est Joe l'Indien... Les Aventures de Tom Sawyer est un des chefs-d' uvre de la litterature americaine. Chacun y trouvera certainement des reminiscences de sa propre enfance et prendra un bain de jouvence a la description des exploits de ce petit diable qui a malgre tout un bon fond."

Roughing it

I will set down a tale as it was told to me by one who had it of his father, which latter had it of HIS father, this last having in like manner had it of HIS father-and so on, back and still back, three hundred years and more, the fathers transmitting it to the sons and so preserving it. It may be history, it may be only a legend, a tradition. It may have happened, it may not have happened: but it COULD have happened. It may be that the wise and the learned believed it in the old days; it may be that only the unlearned and the simple loved it and credited it.
