Texte intégral. Cet ouvrage a fait l'objet d'un véritable travail en vue d'une édition numérique. Un travail typographique le rend facile et agréable à lire. 

Tomy Sawyer est un garçon orphelin, d'âge changeant. Mark Twain ne paraît pas s'être soucié de ce point : dans un chapitre, Tom perd une dent, alors que son amour pour Becky le situe plutôt au début de la préadolescence, qui ne pense qu'à faire l'école buissonnière avec Huckleberry Finn et Joe Harper, à s'identifier aux personnages de ses romans d'aventures préférés et à montrer son phallus à ses camarades. Amoureux de Becky, il n'a de cesse de l'impressionner, et lorsqu'il se retrouve perdu avec elle dans une grotte où ils sont bien près de mourir, il fait preuve de courage et fait tout son possible pour la consoler alors que lui-même est terrorisé.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain is an 1876 novel about a young boy growing up along the Mississippi River. The story is set in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, inspired by Hannibal, Missouri, where Twain lived. Tom Sawyer lives with his Aunt Polly and his half-brother Sid. Tom dirties his clothes in a fight and is made to whitewash the fence the next day as punishment. He cleverly persuades his friends to trade him small treasures for the privilege of doing his work. He then trades the treasures for Sunday School tickets which one normally receives for memorizing verses, redeeming them for a Bible, much to the surprise and bewilderment of the superintendent who thought "it was simply preposterous that this boy had warehoused two thousand sheaves of Scriptural wisdom on his premises - a dozen would strain his capacity, without a doubt." Tom falls in love with 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.

Il découvre la vie et ses lecteurs avec lui. Tom Sawyer a fait rêver des générations d'enfants et son succès ne se dément pas. Même si l'histoire se passe aux États-Unis et à la fin du siècle dernier, ce personnage est parfaitement universel et intemporel. Il incarne la liberté, l'amour de l'aventure, l'appétit de vivre.L'écriture de Mark Twain, pleine d'humour et particulièrement vivante, traverse le temps sans problème.Le monde révolu dans lequel se situe l'histoire ne fait qu'ajouter du charme à ce récit délicieux en même temps qu'initiatique. À savourer dès 11 ans et plus... --Pascale Wester --
