রচনা: মার্ক টোয়েন
A poor boy and a prince exchange places in Tudor England, discovering how clothing and privilege shape identity in Mark Twain’s historical adventure.
এই বই সম্পর্কে
Tom Canty and Prince Edward look so alike that exchanging clothes seems an irresistible game. It leaves the London pauper negotiating court life and the heir to the throne struggling among his poorest subjects. Neither boy can easily persuade others that a mistake has been made. Twain uses their reversed fortunes to examine social rank and injustice through humour and adventure. Familiar customs appear different when seen from the other side of privilege. The question of who will be recognised as king gives the boys’ experiment consequences far beyond their original curiosity.
