"Barnes and Noble Classics "pulls together a constellation of influences--biographical, historical, and literary--to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works. ""Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is the only one of Mark Twain's various books which can be called a masterpiece. I do not suggest that it is his only book of permanent interest; but it is the only one in which his genius is completely realized, and the only one which creates its own category." "T. S. Eliot" Huckleberry Finn, rebel against school and church, casual inheritor of gold treasure, rafter of the Mississippi, and savior of Jim the runaway slave, is the archetypical American maverick. Fleeing the respectable society that wants to"sivilize" him, Huck Finn shoves off with Jim on a rhapsodic raft journey down the Mississippi River. The two bind themselves to one another, becoming intimate friends and agreeing "there warn't no home like a raft, after all. Other places do seem so cramped up and smothery, but a raft don't. You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft." As Huck learns about love, responsibility, and morality, the trip becomes a metaphoric voyage through his own soul, culminating in the glorious moment when he decides to "go to hell" rather than return Jim to slavery. Mark Twain defined classic as "a book which people praise and don't read"; Huckleberry Finn is a happy exception to his own rule. Twain's mastery of dialect, coupled with his famous wit, has made "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn "one of the most loved and distinctly American classics ever written.

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...
