Tom Sawyer Abroad

Tom Sawyer Abroad

Tom Sawyer Abroad (1894) is an adventure novel by Mark Twain, narrated by Huckleberry Finn. In this fantastical sequel, Tom, Huck, and Jim stow away on a hot air balloon commanded by an eccentric inventor. After a struggle, the boys take control of the balloon and drift across the Atlantic Ocean. Their journey takes them over the Sahara Desert, where they encounter lions and caravans, and finally to Egypt, where they marvel at the pyramids and the Sphinx. Blending humor, satire, and imagination, the novel parodies adventure tales of the era while showcasing Tom's romantic dreams and Huck's practical wit.
