With an Introduction and Notes by Stuart Hutchinson, University of Kent at CanterburyTom Sawyer, a shrewd and adventurous boy, is as much at home in the respectable world of his Aunt Polly as in the self-reliant and parentless world of his friend Huck Finn. The two enjoy a series of adventures, accidentally witnessing a murder, establishing the innocence of the man wrongly accused, as well as being hunted by Injun Joe, the true murderer, eventually escaping and finding the treasure that Joe had buried.Huckleberry Finn recounts the further adventures of Huck, who runs away from a drunken and brutal father, and meets up with the escaped slave Jim. They float down the Mississippi on a raft, participating in the lives of the characters they meet, witnessing corruption, moral decay and intellectual impoverishment.Sharing so much in background and character, these two stories, the best of Twain, indisputably belong together in one volume. Though originally written as adventure stories for young people, the vivid writing provides a profound commentary on provincial American life in the mid-nineteenth century and the institution of slavery.

在Mrs Smith的強迫下讀完,嗯啊。。。
評分比較喜歡第一個故事,充滿瞭童趣和真實感,行文也比較幽默。第二個故事諷刺意味比較重,想反映當時的社會現實又不夠真實。有4種方言以及大量的俚語,讀起來比較吃力。
評分更喜歡Huck多一些 Tom就像傳統中國作文中的小明 總是生活在聚光燈下、人群的中心處 一切的所作所為都好像是理所當然一般 而Huck則像小剛 看上去很莽撞 其實卻是個敏感卻又不願錶露的孩子 他有著很多內心活動 他的冒險更像是真正的冒險 帶著黑奴Jim奔嚮自由 即使最終勝利的果實歸功給瞭Tom
評分已購,Wordsworth Classcis版本。
評分高中時讀完的第一本英文原著。語言很簡單,形象生動,故事也很有趣。
