Two boys exchange their clothes and their lives in Mark Twain’s classic satiric comedy.

They are the same age. They look alike. In fact, there is but one difference between them: Tom Canty is a child of the London slums; Edward Tudor is heir to the throne of England. Just how insubstantial this difference really is becomes clear when a chance encounter leads to an exchange of roles…with the pauper caught up in the pomp and folly of the royal court, and the prince wandering, horror-stricken, through the lower depths of sixteenth-century English society.

Out of the theme of switched identities, Mark Twain has fashioned both a scathing attack upon social hypocrisy and injustice and an irresistible comedy imbued with the sense of high-spirited play that belongs to his most creative period.

Vale a pena ler

Sinceramente, achei a história boa, apesar de ser bemm adaptado não é tão ruim. Acho que é legal para quem quer saber se vai gostar ou não do livro. Gostei e leria o livro completo, porém não é uma das minhas prioridades.
