No other work that Mark Twain wrote offers us a clearer picture of the themes that preoccupied—and ultimately obsessed—his imagination than the story of Tom Canty and Edward Tudor.\" Kenneth S. Lynn \"A story that has enchanted its readers, especially young ones, since its inception. After all, both the prince and the pauper are boys, very much in the Mark Twain style... who take control of history, who transform the world. Boys who stand out, thanks to their daring, amid the brutality of their surroundings. Boys... fighting against the adult world... and achieving victory!\" Luiz Antonio Aguiar Tom Canty and Edward Tudor are the same age and look very similar physically. But there is a great distance between them: Tom is a boy from a poor neighborhood in London and Edward is the heir to the throne of England. When the two meet, they swap clothes and identities, their roles reverse, and a creative and irresistible adventure begins. A beautifully crafted social satire, recommended for all ages.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159405674748,"sku":"9788577990979","price":39.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/6d4a548c919202f59ccc344eff95f4e8_6fab4b1f-9058-4fd3-83a1-07253b708123.jpg?v=1783743773"},{"product_id":"joana-d-arc-edicao-de-bolso","title":"Joan of Arc (Pocket Edition)","description":"Joan of Arc is one of the most popular figures in French history. A daughter of the people, a revolutionary and a patriot, Joan was a young peasant girl who became a military leader and commanded an entire army to protect France from British rule. She was betrayed by the monarchy and the Church and condemned to the stake in 1431, but she became a symbol of faith and courage. Fascinated by her character, Mark Twain retraced the saga of this heroine based on twelve years of research based on the memoirs of Monsieur Louis de Conte, a sort of page and secretary to Joan of Arc. In the work, he moves between myth and historical fact to retell this story immortalized in the popular imagination.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159522689276,"sku":"9788577992768","price":64.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/ba20c4f3f978140f9f1e158cdd1185c3.jpg?v=1783742713"},{"product_id":"o-esbulho-do-principe-margarina","title":"The plunder of the margarine prince","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOne evening in 1879 in Paris, Mark Twain sat with his daughters, who begged him for a story.
