With an Introduction and Notes by Stuart Hutchinson, University of Kent at CanterburyTom Sawyer, a shrewd and adventurous boy, is as much at home in the respectable world of his Aunt Polly as in the self-reliant and parentless world of his friend Huck Finn. The two enjoy a series of adventures, accidentally witnessing a murder, establishing the innocence of the man wrongly accused, as well as being hunted by Injun Joe, the true murderer, eventually escaping and finding the treasure that Joe had buried.Huckleberry Finn recounts the further adventures of Huck, who runs away from a drunken and brutal father, and meets up with the escaped slave Jim. They float down the Mississippi on a raft, participating in the lives of the characters they meet, witnessing corruption, moral decay and intellectual impoverishment.Sharing so much in background and character, these two stories, the best of Twain, indisputably belong together in one volume. Though originally written as adventure stories for young people, the vivid writing provides a profound commentary on provincial American life in the mid-nineteenth century and the institution of slavery.

评分卡哇伊^^
评分高中时读完的第一本英文原著。语言很简单,形象生动,故事也很有趣。
评分经典外国儿童文学必读。
评分比较喜欢第一个故事,充满了童趣和真实感,行文也比较幽默。第二个故事讽刺意味比较重,想反映当时的社会现实又不够真实。有4种方言以及大量的俚语,读起来比较吃力。
