Do you know Mark Twain
马克·吐温(Mark Twain,1835年11月30日-1910年4月21日),原名塞缪尔·克莱门斯(Samuel Clemens),是美国的幽默大师、小说家、作家,亦是著名演说家。
威廉·福克纳称他为“第一位真正的美国作家,我们都是继承他而来”。海明威曾经说过“一切当代美国文学都起源于马克·吐温一本叫《哈克贝里·费恩历险记》的书”。它是《汤姆·索亚历险记》的姐妹篇。其中《百万英镑》也倍受欢迎 。
《汤姆·索亚历险记》是马克·吐温的代表作,发表于1876年。小说主人公汤姆·索亚天真活泼,富于幻想和冒险,不堪忍受束缚个性,枯燥乏味的生活,幻想干一番英雄事业。小说通过主人公的冒险经历,对美国虚伪庸俗的社会习俗、伪善的宗教仪式和刻板陈腐的学校教育进行了讽刺和批判,以欢快的笔调描写了少年儿童自由活泼的心灵。
《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》是马克·吐温一部重要的作品,哈克贝利是一个聪明、善良、勇敢的白人少年。他为了追求自由的生活,逃亡到密西西比河上。在逃亡途中,他遇到了黑奴吉姆。吉姆是一个勤劳朴实、热情诚实、忠心耿耿的黑奴,他为了逃脱被主人再次卖掉的命运,从主人家中出逃。他们一起漂流在密西西比河上,过着自由自在的生活,两人成了好朋友。哈克贝利为了吉姆的自由,历尽千辛万苦,最后得知,吉姆的主人已在遗嘱里解放了他。
《百万英镑》(The Million Pound Note)是美国著名作家马克·吐温的小说,讲述了一个在美国街头
乞讨的穷小子亨利·亚当斯在伦敦的一次奇遇。伦
敦的两位富翁兄弟打赌,把一张无法兑现的百万大钞借给亨利,看他在一个月 内如何收场。一个月
的期限到了,亨利不仅没有饿死或被捕,反倒成了富翁,并且赢得了一位漂亮小姐的爱情,在兄弟那里也获得了一份工作。文章以其略带夸张的艺术手法再现大师小说中讽刺与幽默,揭露了20世纪初英国社会的拜金主义思想。
