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.
哈克 我的自由 “我没怎么睡着。因为心里有事,我老睡不踏实。我每回醒过来,都以为有人掐住了我的脖子。所以睡觉对我并没有什么好处。到后来我想我决不能这样活下去;我要去看看到底是谁跟我一起藏在岛上;我非把这件事弄清楚不可。这样一来,我马上轻松多了。” 之所以喜爱...
评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。
评分Hemingway had once said The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn was the best novel in the history of American literature at that time.I admire him since he had won the Nobel Price ,a symbol of kind of authority.From the Internet,I also learned that the story...
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...
评分世界不是小说,世界比小说还荒谬。 王小波在《红拂夜奔》的序言里说:这本书将要谈到的是有趣,其实每一本书都应该有趣,对于一些书来说,有趣是它存在的理由;对于另一些书来说,有趣是它应达到的标准。在这个大家都快忘记有趣是什么的时代,我们会记住马克吐温,记住汤姆索...
