Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Collector's Edition Laminated Hardback with Jacket A beggar in rags and a prince in silk-what if they traded places? When streetwise Tom Canty and heir to the throne Edward Tudor discover they share an uncanny resemblance, a playful experiment turns into a life-altering mistake. Cast into each other's worlds, the pauper struggles to survive the treachery of court life while the prince faces the cruelty of the streets, where his royal word means nothing. With deception closing in and time running out, they must outwit their enemies before their true identities are lost forever.Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper is more than a tale of mistaken identity-it's a sharp critique of social inequality in Tudor England. By swapping a beggar and a prince, Twain exposes the rigid class structures that define power, privilege, and justice. Through vivid storytelling, he challenges the notion that nobility comes from birth rather than character. This timeless novel remains a powerful reflection on wealth, poverty, and the human capacity for empathy.
