内容简介

Fashioned from the same experiences that would inspire the masterpiece Huckleberry Finn, Life on the Mississippi is Mark Twain's most brilliant and most personal nonfiction work. It is at once an affectionate evocation of the vital river life in the steamboat era and a melancholy reminiscence of its passing after the Civil War, a priceless collection of humorous anecdotes and folktales, and a unique glimpse into Twain's life before he began to write. Written in a prose style that has been hailed as among the greatest in English literature, Life on the Mississippi established Twain as not only the most popular humorist of his time but also America's most profound chronicler of the human comedy.

作者简介

Samuel Langhorne Clemens, or Mark Twain, as he was better known was born on November 30, 1835 in Florida, Missouri, the sixth child of John Marshall and Jane Lampton Clemens. His father ran a dry goods and grocery store, practiced law and involved himself in local politics after the family's move to Hannibal, Missouri, when Sam was four years old.

Hannibal seems to have been a good place for a boy to grow up. Sam was entranced by the Mississippi River and enjoyed both the barges and the people who traveled on them. When Sam was just eleven his father died and Sam went to work for his brother at the Hannibal Journal first as a printer's apprentice and later a compositor. While still in his teens Sam went on the road as an itinerant printer. In 1857 he conceived a plan to seek his fortune in South America but on the way he met a steamboat captain, Horace Bixby who took him on as a cub riverboat pilot and taught him until he acquired his own license.

This enjoyable style of life, which Twain always spoke of later with special warmth was ended by the Civil War. Twain went west with his brother Orion to prospect in Nevada but in 1862 joined the staff of the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise, a paper to which he had already begun submitting his work. Later Twain went to California and submitted "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" to the New York Saturday Press.

By 1871 Twain had published Innocents Abroad and had married Olivia Langdon, the sister of a friend from a socially prominent New York City family. He and his wife moved to Hartford, Connecticut, where they made their family home for thenext 20 years.

Books that he wrote in Hartford confirmed his popular reputation but despite their success Twain found himself in financial difficulty primarily because of his investments in the Paige typesetting business as well as his own publishing company. Eventually Twain was forced to declare bankruptcy.

Twain's last major books were successful commercially but they also reflect his increasing pessimism. His satire becomes at times more biting and mean-spirited than it is humorous. Despite the downturn in Twain's outlook in later life and despite the unevenness of much of his work, he remains one of the major writers of the American nineteenth century, and one who has been enormously influential on subsequent writers.

虽然一般把《密西西比河上》算作马克.吐温的5部游记之一，但是却很难如此归类。前3章写密西西比河的历史和地理特征，属于标准的游记体。但4章至17章是《大西洋月刊》的七期连载，描写的是马克.吐温1858年初至1859年初做舵手的生涯，以及如何从天真浪漫逐渐变得老练成熟的过程。但是这又不是严格意义上的自传，因为“我”比当时的马克.吐温更加年轻。书的后半部更有一些纯粹的杜撰（如31、52章）。这么做的好处是可以使马克.吐温不必受小说形式的约束，使作品更加活泼吸引人。虽然一般把《密西西比河上》算作马克.吐温的5部游记之一，但是却很难如此归类。前3章写密西西比河的历史和地理特征，属于标准的游记体。但4章至17章是《大西洋月刊》的七期连载，描写的是马克.吐温1858年初至1859年初做舵手的生涯，以及如何从天真浪漫逐渐变得老练成熟的过程。但是这又不是严格意义上的自传，因为“我”比当时的马克.吐温更加年轻。书的后半部更有一些纯粹的杜撰（如31、52章）。这么做的好处是可以使马克.吐温不必受小说形式的约束，使作品更加活泼吸引人。虽然一般把《密西西比河上》算作马克.吐温的5部游记之一，但是却很难如此归类。前3章写密西西比河的历史和地理特征，属于标准的游记体。但4章至17章是《大西洋月刊》的七期连载，描写的是马克.吐温1858年初至1859年初做舵手的生涯，以及如何从天真浪漫逐渐变得老练成熟的过程。但是这又不是严格意义上的自传，因为“我”比当时的马克.吐温更加年轻。书的后半部更有一些纯粹的杜撰（如31、52章）。这么做的好处是可以使马克.吐温不必受小说形式的约束，使作品更加活泼吸引人。虽然一般把《密西西比河上》算作马克.吐温的5部游记之一，但是却很难如此归类。前3章写密西西比河的历史和地理特征，属于标准的游记体。但4章至17章是《大西洋月刊》的七期连载，描写的是马克.吐温1858年初至1859年初做舵手的生涯，以及如何从天真浪漫逐渐变得老练成熟的过程。但是这又不是严格意义上的自传，因为“我”比当时的马克.吐温更加年轻。书的后半部更有一些纯粹的杜撰（如31、52章）。这么做的好处是可以使马克.吐温不必受小说形式的约束，使作品更加活泼吸引人。虽然一般把《密西西比河上》算作马克.吐温的5部游记之一，但是却很难如此归类。前3章写密西西比河的历史和地理特征，属于标准的游记体。但4章至17章是《大西洋月刊》的七期连载，描写的是马克.吐温1858年初至1859年初做舵手的生涯，以及如何从天真浪漫逐渐变得老练成熟的过程。但是这又不是严格意义上的自传，因为“我”比当时的马克.吐温更加年轻。书的后半部更有一些纯粹的杜撰（如31、52章）。这么做的好处是可以使马克.吐温不必受小说形式的约束，使作品更加活泼吸引人。虽然一般把《密西西比河上》算作马克.吐温的5部游记之一，但是却很难如此归类。前3章写密西西比河的历史和地理特征，属于标准的游记体。但4章至17章是《大西洋月刊》的七期连载，描写的是马克.吐温1858年初至1859年初做舵手的生涯，以及如何从天真浪漫逐渐变得老练成熟的过程。但是这又不是严格意义上的自传，因为“我”比当时的马克.吐温更加年轻。书的后半部更有一些纯粹的杜撰（如31、52章）。这么做的好处是可以使马克.吐温不必受小说形式的约束，使作品更加活泼吸引人。虽然一般把《密西西比河上》算作马克.吐温的5部游记之一，但是却很难如此归类。前3章写密西西比河的历史和地理特征，属于标准的游记体。但4章至17章是《大西洋月刊》的七期连载，描写的是马克.吐温1858年初至1859年初做舵手的生涯，以及如何从天真浪漫逐渐变得老练成熟的过程。但是这又不是严格意义上的自传，因为“我”比当时的马克.吐温更加年轻。书的后半部更有一些纯粹的杜撰（如31、52章）。这么做的好处是可以使马克.吐温不必受小说形式的约束，使作品更加活泼吸引人。虽然一般把《密西西比河上》算作马克.吐温的5部游记之一，但是却很难如此归类。前3章写密西西比河的历史和地理特征，属于标准的游记体。但4章至17章是《大西洋月刊》的七期连载，描写的是马克.吐温1858年初至1859年初做舵手的生涯，以及如何从天真浪漫逐渐变得老练成熟的过程。但是这又不是严格意义上的自传，因为“我”比当时的马克.吐温更加年轻。书的后半部更有一些纯粹的杜撰（如31、52章）。这么做的好处是可以使马克.吐温不必受小说形式的约束，使作品更加活泼吸引人。
