* Illustrated
(This title belongs to the STEAMPUNK ADVENTURES series. The STEAMPUNK ADVENTURES comprise an illustrated selection of classic Victorian speculative fiction, with each title being chosen for its quality, modern appeal and resonance with the steampunk movement of retro-futurism.)
Mayhem incarnate leaves the Mississippi, in search of aeronautical adventure ...
Tom Sawyer Abroad is Mark Twain’s send up of the Extraordinary Voyages series of Jules Verne, including such adventure classics as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, A Journey to the Center of the Earth, and Around the World in Eighty Days. Twain grew weary of having his excellent tales of down-home Americana compete with Verne’s outlandish pulp extravaganzas, and so he wrote Tom Sawyer Abroad as a satiric send-up of the entire genre. Watch as Tom, Huck and Jim pilot an airship, get chased by wild beasts, outwit savage tribesmen, ride giant fleas, gallivant throughout the world and seize outrageous fortune. Witty, hilarious and absurd, this is one of Twain’s lesser masterpieces ... and quite an obscure one! Enjoy.
(Includes the full novella, 13 chapters, 25 illustrations, 34,000 words, 125 pages.)
