Summary: "Prinssi ja kerjäläispoika" by Mark Twain is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in 16th-century England and follows the lives of two boys, Tom Canty, a poor beggar, and Edward Tudor, the prince of Wales, as they inadvertently switch places, leading to a comedic yet poignant exploration of class disparities and the nature of identity. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Tom Canty, who lives in the squalid Offal Court with his abusive family, and Edward Tudor, celebrated by society upon his birth. While Tom dreams of a better life, yearning to see a real prince, Edward unknowingly desires the freedom that Tom experiences. The opening chapters depict Tom's impoverished life and dreams, contrasting sharply with the celebration surrounding the prince's birth. As Tom fantasizes about royalty, the stage is set for the eventual meeting of the two boys, foreshadowing a story that weaves humor with deeper social commentary.
