About the book

In sixteenth-century London, Prince Edward and a poor boy who looks exactly like him swap places. Each must then live in the other's world.

From the text

“I will set down a tale as it was told to me by one who had it of his father, which latter had it of HIS father, this last having in like manner had it of HIS father--and so on, back and still back, three hundred years and more, the fathers transmitting it to the sons and so preserving it.” The Prince and the Pauper · Mark Twain

In the ancient city of London, on a certain autumn day in the second quarter of the sixteenth century, a boy was born to a poor family of the name of Canty, who did not want him.

고대 도시 런던에서 16세기 2분기의 어느 가을날, 캔티라는 가난한 집안에서 아들이 태어났는데, 그 집안은 그를 원하지 않았습니다.

On the same day another English child was born to a rich family of the name of Tudor, who did want him.

같은 날 튜더라는 성을 가진 부유한 집안에서 또 다른 영국 아이가 태어났는데, 그 집안은 그 아이를 원했습니다.

All England wanted him too.

잉글랜드 전체가 그를 원했습니다.

England had so longed for him, and hoped for him, and prayed God for him, that, now that he was really come, the people went nearly mad for joy.

영국은 그를 그토록 간절히 기다리고, 그를 소망하고, 그를 위해 하나님께 기도하였으므로, 이제 그가 정말로 오시니 백성들은 기쁨에 거의 미쳐 날뛰었다.

Mere acquaintances hugged and kissed each other and cried.

서로 아는 사이였던 사람들이 서로 껴안고 입맞추며 울었다.

Everybody took a holiday, and high and low, rich and poor, feasted and danced and sang, and got very mellow; and they kept this up for days and nights together.

모든 사람이 휴가를 내고 신분이 높든 낮든, 부자든 가난하든 모두 잔치를 벌이고 춤추고 노래하며 매우 즐거워했습니다. 그리고 그들은 며칠 밤낮으로 이렇게 했습니다.

By day, London was a sight to see, with gay banners waving from every balcony and housetop, and splendid pageants marching along.

낮에는 런던의 모습이 장관이었는데, 모든 발코니와 지붕에서 화려한 깃발이 펄럭이고, 멋진 행렬이 행진하고 있었습니다.

By night, it was again a sight to see, with its great bonfires at every corner, and its troops of revellers making merry around them.

밤이 되면, 그곳은 다시 한번 장관을 이루었는데, 모든 모퉁이에 큰 모닥불이 피워져 있었고, 그 주위에서는 많은 사람들이 즐겁게 놀고 있었다.
