内容简介: 本书对马克?吐温脍炙人口的作品作了既深刻又通俗的解读,其中包括《汤姆?索亚历险记》和《哈克贝里?费恩历险记》。作者倾力向读者展示吐温式幽默,着重说明这种幽默的效果是如何产生的以及这种独特的幽默手法是如何成功烘托吐温的小说风格的。本书对初次接触吐温的读者非常有价值。 目录: Preface Note on referencing 1 Mark Twain's life The early life River boating, the Civil War, the West Early success, marriage, the Hartford years Expatriation, financial loss, family tragedy The final years 2 Contexts Samuel Langhorne Clemens and 'Mark Twain' 3 Works Twain's humour Travel and travel writing: Innocents Abroad, A Tramp Abroad, Roughing It, Life on the Mississippi Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn A Connecticut Yankee and Pudd'nhead Wilson 4 Critical reception and the late works Notes Guide to further reading Index
