The Tragedy Of Pudd'nhead Wilson

Meer over het boek

The narrative explores themes of identity and social constructs through the lives of two boys switched at birth—one of mixed ancestry raised as a white master, and the other as a slave. As they grow up in each other's roles, the story delves into the complexities of race and societal expectations in the American South. Mark Twain's novel critiques these social norms while weaving a tale of mistaken identity and moral dilemmas, highlighting the absurdities of prejudice and the quest for self-discovery.
