The prince & the pauper

---

The Prince and the Pauper is a historical novel by Mark Twain, first published in 1881. Set in 16th-century England, the story follows two boys—Tom Canty, a poor beggar, and Prince Edward, heir to the throne—who accidentally switch places after discovering their uncanny resemblance. As Tom experiences the luxuries and challenges of royalty, Edward endures the harsh realities of poverty. Through their adventures, Twain explores themes of social inequality, justice, and identity. This classic tale remains a timeless exploration of class differences and human dignity, blending humor, adventure, and social commentary.
