Pudd’nhead Wilson

At the beginning of Pudd'nhead Wilson a young female slave, fearing for her infant son's life, exchanges her light-skinned child with her master's, leading to a novel whose plot rages as a savage indictment of racial prejudice and slavery. Written in 1894, Pudd'nhead Wilson is full of characteristic Twain humour and stands as a gem among the author's later works.

Mark Twain, whose real name was Samuel Clemens, was the celebrated author of several novels, including two major classics of American literature: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. He was also a riverboat pilot, journalist, lecturer, entrepreneur, and inventor.
