About this audiobook
"The Prince and the Poor" by Mark Twain is the first and most famous historical novel of a great American writer, an enchanting and teaching narrative of mercy, justice and the true value of human personality. On the same day in London in the 16th century, two boys are born, similar to each other as two drops of water: the long-awaited heir of the British throne Edward Tydor and the wicked Tom Kent from the wicked Court of Removal. A random meeting in the palace leads to innocent fun - the boys change clothes. However, the guardians, taking the prince in trouble for the poor, throw him out to the street, and Tom remains in the palace in the role of the future crowned person. While the poor boy with a good heart tries to master among the palace etiquette and meaningless laws, the lawful prince knows all the ugly, injustice and cruelty of the life of his least protected subjects. Mark Twain, with his characteristic humor, dynamic story and deep humanism, shows that nobleness and wisdom are not determined by luxurious titles and crowns, but by actions, compassion and honour. **Who to read:** Lovers of exciting historical and adventurous stories, lovers of immortal classics about redressing and role-changing, as well as readers of all ages looking for a good and deep story about goodness and humanity.
