Mark Twain's humorous account of his six years in Nevada, San Francisco, and the Sandwich Islands is a patchwork of personal anecdotes and tall tales, many of them told in the "vigorous new vernacular" of the West. Selling seventy five thousand copies within a year of its publication in 1872, Roughing It was greeted as a work of "wild, preposterous invention and sublime exaggeration" whose satiric humor made "pretension and false dignity ridiculous." Meticulously restored from a variety of original sources, the text is the first to adhere to the author's wishes in thousands of details of wording, spelling, and punctuation, and includes all of the 304 first-edition illustrations. With its comprehensive and illuminating notes and supplementary materials, which include detailed maps tracing Mark Twain's western travels, this Mark Twain Library Roughing It must be considered the standard edition for readers and students of Mark Twain.

读后感

在美国文学史上，马克·吐温一直是以其寓讽刺于幽默的批判现实主义文风而独占鳌头，鲁迅说他的幽默之中含着哀怨、含着讽刺，喜剧效果背后是真正的严肃。《苦行记》是马克·吐温早期的自传体作品，作者以自己在1861～1865年间的西部之旅为素材，润之以西部黑色幽默的笔法...

周六。清晨。早醒。怅然。 随手从书柜上翻了本旧书，《苦行记》。 翻开扉页，赫然发现竟然留有当年的读后记，题《读苦行 走过潇洒》。 字迹甚为认真，时间1996年4月5日，署名玥沨，挺姑娘家的笔名。 原文如下： “一向随性惯了，不在乎惯了。 我享受别人说，这是潇洒。 可蓦...  

如果有什么文字集感动、兴奋、沉思、机智于一体的话，《苦行记》的文字就是这样的文字。美国西部的探险世界：荒芜、凄凉、含带沙漠的世界；残忍、残暴、无知、愚昧、无所畏惧的拓荒者；惊心动魄的美国西部“繁荣时代”。这就是马克的《苦心记》，记住那那篇刚刚开垦的土地，回...  

美国人民应该感谢有个马克·吐温。 　　欧内斯特·海明威说：“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。”威廉·福克纳更是称马克·吐温为“第一位真正的美国作家，我们都是继承他而来。” 　　于是乎，美国文学就有了马克·吐温的气质。...
