评分没想到是这种感觉,荒谬,夸张,幽默,悲伤
评分马克吐温确实挺幽默的,不过kindle上下的一个版本中间好几页排版都有问题也不知道是不是我自己的出故障了
评分算穿越小说吧。越看越有味道。幽默,后面笑喷血!lancelot 率领一群骑士赶到伦敦救驾,on bike!!!而且马克兄的文笔真不是盖的!咦,有没有马盖这么一群粉丝……
评分Not to be harsh, but the Great Mark Twain sounded a tad too narrow-minded and negative to me.
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court was the last of Twain's novels written during the apex of his career. As a work it shows his more mature writing, hinting at some of the cynical and dark themes that he would obsess over in his final years?he thought it would be his last book, but he went on to write many more stories and novelettes. Twain had developed an interest in the Arthurian canon after a friend gave him an edition of the medieval Morte D'Arthure of Thomas Malory around 1884.
While widely recognized as a satire, Twain himself wrote that "the story isn't a satire peculiarly, it is more especially a contrast." After all, what would it satirize?a bygone legendary era whose characters may have never existed? Twain writes in the preface, "The ungentle laws and customes touched upon in this tale are historical"? but they are not necessary of the 6th century or even necessarily about England. Instead, the scenes of pathos and injustice become generalized as contradictions and faults of human behavior throughout the ages is contrasted against the modern man's view of himself and his enlightened age. For example, the slavery scenes of the book most likely never existed in Britain at all, but they are true to life descriptions of Russian serfdom as well as American slavery in the South.
Of the protagonist, Hank the Yankee, Twain writes that he is modern, knowledgeable but is nonetheless "an ignoramus." His voice is not necessarily Twain's, and Twain uses his self-assured, strong willed American to criticize modern society's penchant for destructive progress. Twain at the time of the book already growing more cynical of man's capacity to act sensibly, injects A Connecticut Yankee with a dark prophecy of the political faults he saw in his own time. As the Yankee grows in power and conviction that his way is the best way, he becomes more totalitarian, more violent and less in control of his circumstances until the only way out is a war of mass destruction.
However, like Huckleberry Finn, A Connecticut Yankee was not popular or remembered for its darker undercurrents, but for its brilliant and glistening imagination, witty invention and forthright American storytelling. Full of the contradictions of right and wrong that certainly plagued Twain in his later years, the novel of "contrasts" enjoys the love of children more than of the adults it often criticized.
就我视野所及,此乃时空穿越小说的经典滥觞作品,马克·吐温的幽默文笔,在此书中又有了别样诙谐讽刺的极好发挥!一个美国佬在古代英国的种种奇妙遭遇,令人忍俊不禁。 不过读此书,最好对英国六世纪的历史,特别是亚瑟王朝,能先有一定的了解。
评分No wonder that Mark Twain created a sort of Utopian ancient world plus a modern new Englander, First i was kinda amazed by the experiences of that Yankee, those were incredibly fabulous adventures, i like to launch one myself too as a bagpacker 《On The Roa...
评分 评分 评分对于美国作家一向不怎么推崇,马克吐温是批判现实主义文学的奠基人,顾名思义就是一个吐槽能手,不至于说满满的负能量,也到底是单单只去发现一切的不美好,这点从这部堪称YY界的开篇之作里体现的是淋漓尽致。 在这部作品中,统治阶级,贵族完全成了弱势群体,主...
