The novel employs Twains characteristic wit and keen observational humor, while experimenting with the use of duality and mistaken identity through its intricate plot. Central to the story is an astute yet misunderstood lawyer, David Wilson, whose intriguing application of fingerprinting as a forensic technique underscores the books exploration of nature versus nurture amid Southern societal mores and prejudices. Mark Twain, born Samuel Clemens in 1835, experienced firsthand the complexities of American society and race relations, particularly in the Mississippi River region. His deep-seated critiques of social injustices often inform his literary works, and "Puddnhead Wilson" serves as a poignant commentary reflecting Twains own anti-slavery sentiments. Additionally, Twains travels and experiences as a riverboat pilot shaped his nuanced understanding of American culture and character, which he adeptly weaves into this novel. For readers seeking a thought-provoking exploration of identity and societal constructs, "Puddnhead Wilson" is an essential addition to the literary canon. Twains sharp prose and intricate character development invite readers to question the foundations of their own societal beliefs, making this book not only a compelling narrative but also a significant commentary on the context of race and morality in America.</p>...4297547Puddnhead Wilson2525https://www.gandhi.com.mx/puddnhead-wilson-8596547814481/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4278314/image.jpg?v=638446593881830000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20248596547814481_W3siaWQiOiI1ODkwYTBlZi1lNzA2LTQ5MjktODUwNi04NWM1YWJhYmE3OGEiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjI1LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjoyNSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDQtMTBUMTg6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d8596547814481_<p>At the Missouri frontier town, on the banks of the Mississippi River, the intrigue revolves around two boysone, born into slavery, with 1/32 black ancestry; the other, white, born to be the master of the house.
