{"product_id":"mark-twains-adventures-of-tom-sawyer-the-newsouth-edition","title":"Mark Twain's Adventures of Tom Sawyer: The Newsouth Edition","description":"In a radical departure from standard editions, the coming-of-age story that introduces Mark Twain's two most enduring literary characters--Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn--is published here with its disturbing racial labels translated as \"slave\" and \"Indian.\" Everything else is completely intact in a novel that Twain termed a \"hymn to boyhood.\" Tom and Huck fish and swim in the Mississippi River, search for buried treasure, and hide in a haunted house. Around the edges of this idyllic boy-life, however, loom dangerous events in the fictional village of St. Petersburg: Tom and Huck witness a midnight murder in a graveyard, the killer escapes from the courtroom while Tom is testifying, and two sinister villains plot robbery and revenge against a wealthy widow. Readers can follow the boys' adventures without confronting the dozens of racial slurs that are available in other editions of the book. The editor supplies a historical and literary introduction as well as a guide to Twain's satirical targets.","brand":"Alan Gribben, Alan Gribben","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46712252301548,"sku":"9781603062336","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781603062336.jpg?v=1754289423","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/mark-twains-adventures-of-tom-sawyer-the-newsouth-edition","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
