Adeventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain

What a delight of a book! What writing! No doubt that the author amassed wealth and fame. No doubt he spent it all. It is all in there. It is as though the author time travelled. It is as though the author knew that the grown up part of his story will be failure. But the growing up phase or to use the commercial parlance "coming of age" has never been more beautifully brought out than with the adventures of Tom Sawyer. It is a book to be read up whenever you are down. 

 Whenever consumerism has consumed you. Whenever you think mother earth cannot give you more. Whenever you feel you have seen it all. The book removes all the dejavu feelings you might be having about life. What energy, what adventure, what characters! Wow. Every line is painstakingly written to have the utmost effect on the reader. The reader is the king. Very few books makes the reader feel that way. Plenty of the philosophical side involved. The author brings out the consumerist attitude of the young and the men. It brings out the young in the men. It talks about the men in men. 

 Every scenario is beautifully contrasted. Mother earth is in her full glory. All her presents to mankind are kindled and remembered, explained, reveled. You very easily become the protagonist. You can easily replace the others with similar characters in your life. But, with the present generation and the looming pandemic might just change the whole world wherein the children would never understand the joy the book can provide. 

How can you enjoy the book, if you have not lived a part of it. How can you enjoy a book, if you feel that you have not done certain activity in the book. How can you enjoy the book when you know the activities mentioned in the book happened in a lifetime that does not happen now. Oh, the playing in the sand, jumping in puddles of rain, getting wet in the rain, getting caught for trifles, Oh yes, we have live a life. But, what about our children, they wont understand a thing.....
