Third The third book in Mark Twain's series about the adventures of the irrepressible Tom Sawyer. This time, the desperate and inseparable trio of friends - Tom, Huck Finn and Jim - embark on an exciting and sometimes dangerous journey to the uncharted vastness of the African continent. Their vehicle is no less exotic - the company is going overseas in a hot air balloon!

The heroes will find amazing places, unexpected encounters with wild animals and the stormy climate of Africa, heartbreaking adventures in the desert in the company of a crazy professor - the inventor of their aircraft.

The work is written in the best traditions of Twain's humour. In their verbal battles, Tom, Tuck and Jim often come to very absurd and funny conclusions. However, in this superficial naivety, they raise quite adult and serious topics: social and racial equality, the interaction between individuals and society, faith and religion, self-interest and nobility, greed and humanity, and even geopolitics. So don't be in a hurry to label the novel "for children and young adults": this is a deeply satirical work that will appeal to people of all ages and literary preferences.
