Mark Twain

Znamenitye geroi Marka Tvena, londonskij oborvysh Tom Kenti, prints Eduard VI, sorvantsy Tom i Gek stali voploscheniem "amerikanskoj mechty": derzkie, veselye, s otvagoj i veroj v sebja dobivajutsja oni svoego prava na svobodu i schaste." Vsja sovremennaja amerikanskaja literatura vyshla iz odnoj knigi Marka Tvena, kotoraja nazyvaetsja "Geklberri Finn". Eto luchshaja nasha kniga... Nichego podobnogo do nee ne bylo. Nichego ravnogo ne napisano do sikh por" (E. Kheminguej).

Suurem osa siin raamatus kirjapandud seiklustest on tõestisündinud; mõned neist on mu endaga juhtunud, teised poistega, kes olid mu koolivennad. Huck Finn on elust võetud, Tom Sawyer samuti, kuid ta ei ole loodud ühe inimese põhjal: ta on kombinatsioon kolmest poisist, keda ma tundsin, ja kuulub seepärast arhitektuuri segastiili. Ebausk, mida olen siin puudutanud, oli Läänes laste ja orjade hulgas üldlevinud selle loo toimumise ajal, see tähendab umbes kolmkümmend või nelikümmend aastat tagasi. Kuigi mu raamat on mõeldud peamiselt poistele ja tüdrukutele meelelahutuseks, loodan, et seda ei lükka tagasi ka mehed ja naised, sest minu kavatsus oli tuletada täiskasvanutele meelde, missugused nad kord ise olid, mida nad tundsid, mõtlesid ja rääkisid ja millistest kummalistest ettevõtmistest nad mõnikord osa võtsid. Hartford, 1876Autor

Ty by khotel prosnutsja korolem? Ili, naprimer, printsem? Zamanchivaja mechta, osobenno esli rodilsja v truschobakh i na kusok khleba poroj "zarabatyvaesh" vorovstvom... Tomu, vyrosshemu v vonjuchem tupike, gordo nazyvaemom Dvorom Otbrosov, ne ochen nravilos krast, on bolshe ljubil slushat skazki "o zakoldovannykh zamkakh, velikolepnykh koroljakh i printsakh". Lezha na podstilke iz kolkoj solomy, golodnyj i izbityj, Tom predstavljal roskoshnuju zhizn velmozh... Nashi mechty inogda sbyvajutsja, - Tomu vypadet shans okazatsja vo dvortse, podruzhitsja s printsem i dazhe primerit ego roskoshnyj narjad, kogda naslednik prestola Eduard Tjudor reshit pomenjatsja s nim odezhdoj... A dalshe ikh zakrutit v vodovorot sobytij. Kto ochutitsja v tjurme, a na che chelo vskore vozlozhat koronu Anglii? .. Dlja detej srednego shkolnogo vozrasta.

Uplyt na neobitaemyj ostrov, otyskat klad s zolotymi monetami, dobitsja ljubvi luchshej devochki v klasse, zabluditsja v peschere... - ob etom mechtaet kazhdyj malchishka! Nu, razve chto, propast v peschere mechtaet ne vsjakij... No tolko predstavte, chto vse eti - i mnogie drugie - neobychajnye, opasnye, uvlekatelnye prikljuchenija vypali na dolju odnogo malchika iz zashtatnogo gorodishki Sankt-Peterburga v shtate Missuri, na reke Missisipi. Vy znaete, kak ego zovut? Konechno! Eto Tom Sojer - khuligan, drachun i zavodila, kakikh svet ne vidyval! No polozhitelnykh kachestv u nego tozhe nemalo (khotja ego svodnyj brat Sid s nami by posporil) - Tom dobryj i schedryj, otvazhnyj i velikodushnyj (i Bekki eto podtverdit). Dlja srednego shkolnogo vozrasta.

I denna parodi av Mark Twain har Sherlock Holmes bestämt sig för att besöka sin familj på andra sidan Atlanten. Hans systerson Fetlock Jones arbetar i en gruva i Kalifornien, och bara några få dagar efter att Holmes kommit dit börjar det ske mystiska mord. Holmes måste, trots att han är på semester, ta på sig detektivmössan och bistå polisen som står handfallna. Fem år tidigare har en olycklig kvinna utkrävt sin hämnd. Mot sin förmögna faders önskningar gifter hon sig, men hennes nyblivne man visar sig vara något av en skurk. Kort efter bröllopet flyr han, och lämnar sin nya fru bakom sig förkrossad. Men deras historia är inte över, för det dröjer inte länge förrän frun upptäcker att hon är gravid. Barnet som föds visas sig ha nästan övernaturliga krafter; ett luktsinne som slår både andra människor och djur. När barnet blivit äldre ser frun sin chans - hon sänder ut sin son för att finna den förlorade fadern, och för att hämnas.

Hank Morgan is a 19th-century resident of Hartford, Connecticut, who, after a blow to the head, awakens to find himself inexplicably transported back in time to early medieval England where he meets King Arthur himself. Hank, who had an image of that time that had been colored over the years by romantic myths, takes on the task of analyzing the problems and sharing his knowledge from 1300 years in the future to try to modernize, Americanize, and improve the lives of the people. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is a satire of feudalism and monarchy that also celebrates homespun ingenuity and democratic values while questioning the ideals of capitalism and outcomes of the Industrial Revolution. It is among several works by Twain and his contemporaries that mark the transition from the Gilded Age to the Progressive Era of socioeconomic discourse. It is often cited as a formative example of the "time travel" genre. This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.
