哈克贝利·费恩历险记（英文版）[TheAdventuresofHuckleberryFinn]

编辑推荐

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn isnoted for its colorful description of people andplaces along the Mississippi River. By satirizinga Southern antebellum society that was alreadyanachronistic at the time, the book is an oftenscathing look at entrenched attitudes,particularly racism. The drifting journey ofHuck and his friend Jim, a runaway slave, downthe Mississippi River on their raft may be oneof the most enduring images of escape andfreedom in all of American literature. The book has been popular with youngreaders since its publication and is taken as asequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. It hasalso been the continued object of study byserious literary critics. The book was criticizedupon release because of its coarse language,and became even more controversial in thezoth century because of its perceived use ofracial stereotypes and because of its frequentuse of the racial slur, "nigger."
YOU don't know about me, without you have read a book by thename of TbeAdventures of Tom Sawyer, but that ain't no matter. Thatbook was made by Mr. Mark Twain, and he told the truth, mainlyThere was things which he stretched, but mainly he told the truth.That is nothing. I never seen anybody but lied, one time or another,without it was Aunt Polly or the widow, or maybe May Aunt PollyTom's Aunt Poll she is-and Mar and the Widow Douglas, is alltold about in that book-which is mostly a true book; with somestretchers, as I said before. Now the way that the book winds up, is this: Tom and me foundthe money that the robbers hid in the cave, andit made us rich. We got six thousand dollarsapiece——all gold. It was an awful sight of moneywhen it was piled up. Well, Judge Thatcher, hetook it and put it out at interest, and it fetchedus a dollar a day apiece, all the year roundmore than a body could tell what to do with.
