书籍简介

哈珀柯林斯 (Harper Collins) 很自豪地推出其新系列的备受欢迎的经典作品。

“我们说过，毕竟没有比木筏更好的家了。” 其他地方确实显得如此狭窄和窒息，但木筏却不然。 在木筏上你会感到无比的自由、轻松和舒适。”

哈克·芬通过伪造自己的死亡逃离了酗酒的父亲，并开始了他穿越南方腹地的旅程，寻求独立和自由。 在旅途中，哈克遇到了一名逃亡奴隶吉姆，他是一名通缉犯，他们一起沿着密西西比河顺流而下。 《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》提出了偏见、勇敢和希望等永恒且普遍的问题，过去和现在都被认为是伟大的美国小说。

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.

'We said 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.'

Huck Finn escapes from his alcoholic father by faking his own death and so begins his journey through the Deep South, seeking independence and freedom. On his travels, Huck meets an escaped slave, Jim, who is a wanted man, and together they journey down the Mississippi River. Raising the timeless and universal l issues of prejudice, bravery and hope, the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was and still is considered the great American novel.

作者简介

马克·吐温是塞缪尔·兰霍恩·克莱门斯（Samuel Langhorne Clemens，1835 - 1910）的笔名。 他在美国密苏里州出生和长大，由于父亲去世，他在十二岁时就离开学校谋生。 他是一位伟大的冒险家，以印刷工的身份周游美国。 寻找黄金并前往南美发财。 他回到密西西比河，成为一名汽船领航员，那里离他长大的地方很近。 内战结束了汽船运输，克莱门斯短暂地加入了南部邦联军队 - 尽管他的家人都是联邦主义者！ 他已经尝试过报纸报道，现在成为了一名成功的记者。 内战期间，他开始使用化名马克·吐温，并以这个笔名成为有名的旅行作家。 这个名字取自他在汽船时代的名字——这是河流引航员的呼喊，让他们的手下知道水有两英寻深。

马克吐温总是怀念自己的童年，并根据自己的经历于 1876 年出版了《汤姆索亚历险记》。 这本书很快被认为是一部天才之作，八年后续集《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》出版。 伟大作家海明威声称“所有现代文学都源于这一本书”。

马克·吐温很快就享誉世界。 他靠写作赚了一大笔钱，却因他发明的排字机而失去了财富。 然后，他又赚了一笔钱，却因一次错误的投资而损失惨重。 他是一个冲动、脾气暴躁的人，但也相当多愁善感和迷信。 他在哈雷彗星掠过地球时出生，并且一直相信当它返回时他会死——这正是发生的事情。

Mark Twain is the pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835 - 1910). He was born and brought up in the American state of Missouri and, because of his father's death, he left school to earn his living when he was only twelve. He was a great adventurer and travelled round America as a printer; prospected for gold and set off for South America to earn his fortune. He returned to become a steam-boat pilot on the Mississippi River, close to where he had grown up. The Civil War put an end to steam-boating and Clemens briefly joined the Confederate army - although the rest of his family were Unionists! He had already tried his hand at newspaper reporting and now became a successful journalist. He started to use the alias Mark Twain during the Civil War and it was under this pen name that he became a famous travel writer. He took the name from his steam-boat days - it was the river pilots' cry to let their men know that the water was two fathoms deep.

Mark Twain was always nostalgic about his childhood and in 1876 The Adventures of Tom Sawyer was published, based on his own experiences. The book was soon recognised as a work of genius and eight years later the sequel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, was published. The great writer Ernest Hemingway claimed that 'All modern literature stems from this one book.'

Mark Twain was soon famous all over the world. He made a fortune from writing and lost it on a typesetter he invented. He then made another fortune and lost it on a bad investment. He was an impulsive, hot-tempered man but was also quite sentimental and superstitious. He was born when Halley's Comet was passing the Earth and always believed he would die when it returned - this is exactly what happened.
