书籍简介

当被奴役的吉姆无意中听到自己即将被卖给新奥尔良的一个人，与妻女永远分离时，他决定躲到附近的杰克逊岛上，直到制定好计划为止。与此同时，哈克-费恩为了躲避刚回到镇上的暴力父亲，伪造了自己的死亡。所有美国文学作品的读者都知道，由此开始了乘木筏顺密西西比河而下的危险而又非凡脱俗的旅程，向着自由美国以及更远的地方进发。

虽然《哈克贝利-费恩历险记》中的许多叙事片段依然存在（洪水和风暴、在密西西比河沿岸无数的停留点偶遇意外死亡和意外宝藏、遭遇冒充公爵和王储的骗子......），但吉姆的能动性、智慧和同情心却得到了全新的展现。

When the enslaved Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a man in New Orleans, separated from his wife and daughter forever, he decides to hide on nearby Jackson Island until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile, Huck Finn has faked his own death to escape his violent father, recently returned to town. As all readers of American literature know, thus begins the dangerous and transcendent journey by raft down the Mississippi River toward the elusive and too-often-unreliable promise of the Free States and beyond.

While many narrative set pieces of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn remain in place (floods and storms, stumbling across both unexpected death and unexpected treasure in the myriad stopping points along the river’s banks, encountering the scam artists posing as the Duke and Dauphin…), Jim’s agency, intelligence and compassion are shown in a radically new light.
