En savoir plus sur le livre

A young slave named Roxy, fearing for her child's safety, swaps her light-skinned baby with her master's child. As a result, Roxy's son, raised as a white man named Tom, grows up to lead a life of crime, while her master's child remains enslaved. This narrative serves as a sharp critique of a racially prejudiced society, infused with Mark Twain's signature wit and irony. The book is presented in a new edition that includes a specially commissioned biography of Twain, known for his influential works like The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
