Více o knize

The novel explores themes of identity and social status through the lives of two boys switched at birth—one of mixed race born into slavery and the other white, destined to be a master. As they grow, each assumes the other's societal role, leading to a profound examination of race, class, and the arbitrary nature of social constructs in America. Twain's narrative delves into the complexities of human character and the impact of environment on personal identity.
