{"product_id":"puddnhead-wilson","title":"Pudd'nhead Wilson","description":"Switched at birth by a young slave woman attempting to protect her son from the horrors of slavery, a light-skinned infant changes places with the master's white son. This simple premise is the basis of Pudd'nhead Wilson, a compelling drama that contains all the elements of a classic 19th-century mystery: reversed identities, a ghastly crime, an eccentric detective, and a tense courtroom scene. First published in 1894, Twain's novel bristles with suspense. David \"Pudd’nhead\" Wilson, a wise but unorthodox lawyer who collects fingerprints as a hobby, wins back the respect of his townspeople when he solves a local murder in which two foreigners are falsely accused. Witty and absorbing, this novel features a literary first — the use of fingerprinting to solve a crime. This gem was Twain's last novel about the antebellum South; and despite its frequent injections of humor, it offers a fierce condemnation of racial prejudice and a society that condoned slavery.","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"perpetual","offer_id":44457217818721,"sku":"9780486111483","price":0.5,"currency_code":"KWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9869\/4241\/files\/480_a5bee559-3a83-4001-9384-8f9731cb4545.jpg?v=1778566451","url":"https:\/\/ebooks.aafaqeducation.com\/products\/puddnhead-wilson","provider":"ebook.aafaqeducation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
