Mark Twain's humorous account of his six years in Nevada, San Francisco, and the Sandwich Islands is a patchwork of personal anecdotes and tall tales, many of them told in the "vigorous new vernacular" of the West. Selling seventy five thousand copies within a year of its publication in 1872, Roughing It was greeted as a work of "wild, preposterous invention and sublime exaggeration" whose satiric humor made "pretension and false dignity ridiculous." Meticulously restored from a variety of original sources, the text is the first to adhere to the author's wishes in thousands of details of wording, spelling, and punctuation, and includes all of the 304 first-edition illustrations. With its comprehensive and illuminating notes and supplementary materials, which include detailed maps tracing Mark Twain's western travels, this Mark Twain Library Roughing It must be considered the standard edition for readers and students of Mark Twain.

评分放弃了大河(The Mississippi River)上“值得留恋的引水员”生涯,刚刚被兄长聘为“内华达准州州务秘书”的“私人秘书”的山姆•克莱门斯,怀着成为“既轻松愉快又严肃认真”的男子汉的梦想,于新城圣约瑟夫,跟重达两千八百磅的邮件一起被塞进一辆摇来晃去的六驾马车,...
评分马克•吐温的非虚构文学,书名曾被译为《苦行记》,其实并不准确,但是似乎也难以找到更好的译法。虽然书太厚而考人耐心,但是内容十分丰富,文字非常好,不卖弄文采,不过分依靠长句,时不时还有特别有意思、让人哈哈一笑的地方。对了解当时美国中西部的情况也很有帮助。 ...
