The book is a good example of scientific classic which survived a hundred years. In the crowded world of millions of books published and then forgotten in the darkness of libraries, some shine like a star and survive for centuries. This book is similar one written by the famous author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle famous for Sherlock Holmes in the year 1912.The author was charismatic in his ideas as we can see the stories of Sherlock Holmes and his ways of cracking crimes still amuses people. In the year 1912, when the Europe was a boiling pot ripe for two great wars and was riding on great colonialization experience and exploration of new worlds. It was not surprise that everyone was in search of wealthy India or el dorado in south America. The fossils of the Jurassic era were new and a lot of theories were prevailing regarding evolution of earth and man. The idea that the creatures that ruled the earth millions of year ago could still be surviving somewhere in the darkness of Amazon jungle

 

Heard about this book since my childhood and some of its part was included in our English language syllabus. It is still popular in English literature and is regarded as a roll model for writing children’s adventure stories. The character of Tom Sawyer has become iconic and everyone finds his childhood was similar to Tom and was similarly mischievous and adventurous.  The fact that it is so popular among readers and children even after 100 years is that everyone sees himself in the character of Tom. Everyone also finds that it is not so bad to be mischievous or adventurous during his own childhood. The book is good for those who want to improve their English language vocabulary English vocabulary.
