«Príncipe y mendigo» is Mark Twain's adventure novel, published by Ediciones Busma in paperback (184 pages, in Spanish).
In the England of Henry VIII, two boys from opposite worlds —Tom Canty, a beggar, and Edward, Prince of Wales— swap their clothes and their roles. Both must face a life they do not know, among people who take them for madmen, in a story with the tone of a moral and didactic tale.
The work was originally published in 1881; this Spanish edition, translated by Enrique López Castellón, belongs to the Poesía y Prosa Popular collection (volume 69).
Owing to its didactic tone and agile reading, it is suitable for young readers and as a first approach to the classics.
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.
