The following is a brief introduction of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer:
The story of the novel takes place in an ordinary town on the Mississippi River in the first half of the19th century. Tom sawyer, the protagonist, is naive and lively, dares to explore and pursue freedom, and can't stand the boring life that binds personality, dreaming of being a hero.
The time of this novel is before the Civil War. Although it was written in St. Petersburg, the town can be said to be a microcosm of American society at that time.
Through the adventures of the protagonist, the novel satirizes and criticizes the hypocritical vulgar social customs, hypocritical religious ceremonies and rigid and stale school education in the United States, and depicts the free and lively hearts of children with a cheerful style. In April 2020, it was listed in the Reading Guidance Catalogue for Primary and Secondary School Students (2020 Edition) of the Basic Education Curriculum and Textbook Development Center of the Ministry of Education.
