Prince and the Pauper. Twain M.

Roman Mark Twain (1835–1910) “Prince and a Beggar” is the first historical work of the writer, which was published in 1881. The plot of the novel unfolds in England in the middle of the XVI century, when on the same day two boys, similar to each other, were born, but only one was born a prince, and the other poor. The harmless joke of these boys, who accidentally met, turned into a real tragedy for all England. A novel about the heir to the English throne who changed their places and a spell boy from the yard of the discharge is rightly attributed to the classics of world literature.

The text in the book was published without abbreviations in the classical translation of the Korney Chukovsky and Nikolai Chukovsky.
