This is the first edition of Huckleberry Finn ever to be based on Mark Twain's entire original manuscript--including its first 663 pages, which had been lost for more than a hundred years when they were discovered in 1990 in a Los Angeles attic. The text of the Mark Twain Library edition (first published in 1985) has been re-edited using this manuscript, restoring thousands of details of wording, spelling, and punctuation that had been corrupted by Mark Twain's typist, typesetters, and proofreaders. The revised Mark Twain Library Huckleberry Finn is sure to become the standard edition for all students and readers of Mark Twain.
The authoritative new edition of this beloved work includes all of the 174 first-edition illustrations by Edward Windsor Kemble, which the author called "rattling good." It also contains a new gathering of manuscript pages, photographically reproduced, and an appendix of passages from the manuscript, including the long-lost "ghost story," which illustrate how extensively Mark Twain revised his work. The editors have also revised and updated their explanatory notes, the maps of the Mississippi River valley, and the glossary of slang and dialect words.
The story of Huck and his companion Jim, a runaway slave, as they travel down the Mississippi to escape from slavery and "sivilization" has been delighting readers around the world since Twain first published it in 1885. Simply put, it is a masterpiece: revolutionary in its narrative method, surpassingly funny, and at the same time deeply perceptive about human nature. No other American novel of the nineteenth century still commands so vast an audience, and certainly no other retains the capacity to stir controversy with its sharp satire on American racism.
A Responsible Critical Text
To produce this authoritative critical text, the editors studied all aspects of Mark Twain's manuscript, working notes, proof sheets, and letters. To judge the authority of every variant, they created a unique electronic database that made it possible to analyze--by speaker and date of composition--every word in the manuscript and first edition.
An Inside View of How Mark Twain Wrote Huckleberry Finn
The new appendixes of "Three Passages" and "Manuscript Facsimiles" will give teachers and students as well as the general reader a close-up view of Mark Twain's writing process. They can follow the evolution of three key passages, as the author searched for the right word, the truest dialect, and the most telling description.
1.“美国文学小说的源头”(海明威) - 写出了一种美国人自认为的不断探索的美国精神。正如哈克的形象,一直是一种矛盾的,追求自由,却不明白自由是什么。小时候总想着成为科学家、英雄…但那些都不是你,都是想成为一个另外一个人,都是别的人的模式。美国这样一种不断探索...
評分 評分 評分在单位的老图书馆随便借的,放假在家里随便读的,最后一个人笑翻在家里,哈克是我见过天性最幽默、心灵最自由、做人最真诚的孩童,特别喜欢第一次看的那版,译者是谁,又不记得了。我想译者的也是位天性最幽默、心灵最自由的人吧。
評分你顺流而下,印第安是你的终点;我逆流而上,自由的美国梦是我的目标。我知道那就是你。虽然你来自1844年的马克吐温笔下,可你还是四年前我遇到你的样子——穿着大人丢掉的破衣服,肥肥大大包裹着你瘦弱的身躯,那顶大大的破帽子,边儿上有很宽的新月形帽檐耷拉着。 ...
