The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson

Meer over het boek

The novel explores themes of identity and social constructs through the lives of two boys switched at birth: one born into slavery with mixed ancestry and the other a white master. As they grow, they navigate their swapped social roles, raising questions about race and society. Serialized in The Century Magazine before its 1894 publication, it showcases Mark Twain's sharp commentary on the complexities of American life.
