`You don't know about me, without you have read a book by the name of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", but that ain't no matter.' So begins, in characteristic fashion, one of the greatest American novels. Narrated by a poor, illiterate white boy living in America's deep South before the Civil War, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is the story of Huck's escape from his brutal father and the relationship that grows between him and Jim, the slave who is fleeing from an even more brutal oppression. As they journey down the Mississippi their adventures address some of the most profound human conundrums: the prejudices of class, age, and colour are pitted against the qualities of hope, courage, and moral character. Enormously influential in the development of American literature, Huckleberry Finn remains a controversial novel at the centre of impassioned critical debate. This edition discusses all the current issues and the evolution of Mark Twain's penetrating genius. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
花了一个星期的业余时间读完这本书,算是圆了少年时的一个想法。 虽然是哈克的历险记,但是在书的末尾,汤姆·沙耶作为嘉宾亦前来捧场,隆重上演了“营救吉姆”的好戏。故事的结局令人感慨万端,亦感到轻松愉快。 马克·吐温给我们描绘了细腻的、风情万种的密西西比河,两岸...
评分美国的作家中,我对马克吐温很有好感,源于只是对他了解稍多。 记得还是上世纪80年代初,高中英语课本里有《汤姆索亚历险记》的某个篇章简写。大意是汤姆和哈克去寻宝,在某个旧房子里发现有两个歹徒要谋害寡妇,两人趴在楼上的地板上,不仅听到了歹徒的谈话,也发现了他们隐藏...
评分 评分大雾渐渐消散,在那条十九世纪的河流上,古老而又年轻的密西西比,木排顺流而下,一个民族的文学随波飘荡。 小说的主人公哈克贝利芬最先早出现是在马克吐温的另一部小说《汤姆索亚历险记》里,《哈克贝利芬历险记》的故事情节紧跟在《汤姆索亚历险记》后面。在《汤姆索...
评分像一幅神奇的扑克牌。汤姆在最不需要他出现的关键时刻及时隆重地出现后简直把人急死。他不由分说地让人怒不可遏地在最后关键时刻疯狂抢镜头。他啰嗦细心蛮横又奇招迭出直到中弹昏迷发烧被抬回家。啊!他在短短的一段日子里便几乎经历了哈克·芬的所有历程。这个全身总是闪烁着...
