«Príncipe y mendigo» is Mark Twain's young adult novel, published by Bruguera in 1976 in hardback (155 pages, in Spanish).
Two boys from opposite lives decide to swap identities: the prince, raised in luxury, and the beggar, used to the streets. Each will experience the other's reality first-hand, between the pomp of the court and the misery of the people. The novel blends adventure with reflection on social justice, power and loyalty.
The edition belongs to the Historias Selección Collection, Young Classics Series (number 17), with a translation by José M. Carbonell and 250 illustrations.
Aimed at young readers, it serves as a gateway to adventure classics and Mark Twain's social criticism.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, and essayist. He has been praised as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced", with William Faulkner calling him "the father of American literature". Twain's novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), with the latter often called the "Great American Novel". He also wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) and Pudd'nhead Wilson (1894) and cowrote The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873) with Charles Dudley Warner.
