From this rather simple premise Mark Twain fashioned one of his most entertaining, funny, yet biting novels. On its surface, \u003ci\u003ePudd'nhead Wilson\u003c\/i\u003e possesses all the elements of an engrossing nineteenth-century mystery: reversed identities, a horrible crime, an eccentric detective, a suspenseful courtroom drama, and a surprising, unusual solution. Yet it is not a mystery novel. Seething with the undercurrents of antebellum southern culture, the book is a savage indictment in which the real criminal is society, and racial prejudice and slavery are the crimes. Written in 1894, \u003ci\u003ePudd'nhead Wilson\u003c\/i\u003e glistens with characteristic Twain humor, with suspense, and with pointed irony: a gem among the author's later works.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Bantam Classics","offers":[{"title":"Pudd'nhead Wilson | Mark Twain | Mass market paperback | 9780553211580 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1593976","offer_id":50647278190850,"sku":"1593976","price":18.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/61bbAdgTn8L.jpg?v=1791267309","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/puddnhead-wilson","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
