Durante el invierno de 1590 un extraño personaje llega por sorpresa a Eseldorf, una aldea de Austria. Se llama Satán y es capaz de hacer cosas prodigiosas. El forastero misterioso no tardará en poner patas arriba a toda la vecindad, y no solo por sus espectaculares obras, sino también por su empeño en ridiculizar la condición humana, para él mucho más salvaje que el mundo de los animales.

Издание содержит четыре повести Марка Твена о приключениях Тома Сойера и его друзей.

Eines Tage kommt die Witwe Douglas auf die Idee, den Lausbuben Huckleberry Finn zu sich zu nehmen und wie einen eigenen Sohn großzuziehen. Hätte Huck das geahnt! Zusammen mit ihrer Schwester, Miss Watson, versucht Witwe Douglas ständig, an ihm herumzuerziehen. Sie meint allerdings, er würde sonst nie ein wohlerzogener Junge werden. Bis es Huckleberry Finn zu viel wird und er mit dem schwarzen Diener Jim flieht. Auf einem Floß fahren sie den Mississippi gen Süden und erleben auf dieser Reise manches spannende und nicht ganz ungefährliche Abenteuer.

In dieser Geschichte kommen zwar auch Tante Polly, Mary und die Witwe Douglas vor, doch die Hauptpersonen sind Tom Sawyer und sein Freund Huckleberry Finn. Zwei Lausbuben, die den Tag und ihre eigentlich ganz guten Ideen genießen. Schwimmen, fischen, prügeln, Schule schwänzen und Streiche aller Art spielen, das ist so richtig nach Toms Geschmack. Und dass er am Ende noch eine Höhle entdeckt, die für ihn und Huck einen Schatz verborgen hält, das hätte er sich in den abenteuerreichen Tagen am Mississippi nicht träumen lassen.
