汤姆·索亚历险记(The Adventures of Tom Sawyer)简介:

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, by Mark Twain, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics:
New introductions commissioned from today's top writers and scholars Biographies of the authors Chronologies of contemporary historical, biographical, and cultural events Footnotes and endnotes Selective discussions of imitations, parodies, poems, books, plays, paintings, operas, statuary, and films inspired by the work Comments by other famous authors Study questions to challenge the reader's viewpoints and expectations Bibliographies for further reading Indices & Glossaries, when appropriateAll editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences—biographical, historical, and literary—to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works.

Perhaps the best-loved nineteenth-century American novel, Mark Twain’s tale of boyhood adventure overflows with comedy, warmth, and slapstick energy. It brings to life and array of irresistible characters—the awesomely self-confident Tom, his best buddy Huck Finn, indulgent Aunt Polly, and the lovely, beguiling Becky—as well as such unforgettable incidents as whitewashing a fence, swearing an oath in blood, and getting lost in a dark and labyrinthine cave. Below Tom Sawyer’s sunny surface lurk hints of a darker reality, of youthful innocence and naïveté confronting the cruelty, hypocrisy, and foolishness of the adult world—a theme that would become more pronounced in Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Despite such suggestions, Tom Sawyer remains Twain’s joyful ode to the endless possibilities of childhood.

  小说描写的是以汤姆・索亚为首的一群孩子天真浪漫的生活。他们为了摆脱枯燥无味的功课、虚伪的教义和呆板的生活环境,作出了种种的冒险经历。
  汤姆是一个有理想、有抱负但也有烦恼的孩子,在他身上集中体现了智慧、计谋、正义、勇敢乃至领导等诸多才能。他是一个多重角色的集合,足智多谋,又富于同情心,对现实环境持反感态度,一心要冲出桎梏,去当绿林好汉,过行侠仗义的生活。
  【关于《哈克贝利・费恩历险记》】小说通过描写白人小孩哈克跟逃亡黑奴杰姆结伴在密西西比河流浪的历险生活,讽刺宗教的虚伪愚昧,谴责黑奴制的罪恶,宣传不分种族地位,人人都享有自由的权利。
  这部小说和《汤姆・索亚历险记》不同,作者改用第一人称,即以哈克讲他的所见所闻,再用哈克的口吻对他的所见所闻发出天真而又世故的感叹和评议。
  值得一提的是,看这部作品时,还应该了解一下当时的时代背景。在十九世纪中叶,美国南部是种植园主奴隶制,北部是资产阶级雇佣劳动制,这两种制度的矛盾引起了政治上和经济上的对立,并集中表现为支持和反对黑奴制这一问题上,并因此发生了内战,即“南北战争”。
  因此,在小说中,对黑奴杰姆,不同身份、不同地域的人,有着完全不同的看法。即使是哈克本人,对该不该让杰姆获得自由,其内心世界,也是有着怀疑和斗争。了解当时的时代背景,有助于我们更好地理解这部小说。
