NYÖVERSÄTTNING
Huckleberry Finn försöker verkligen att anpassa sig till ett civiliserat liv hos änkan Douglas och hennes syster, miss Watson. Han försöker uppskatta både kristendom och gott uppförande. Men rätt vad det är blir den unge Huck bortrövad av sin alkoholiserade far som låser in sin son i en stuga. Huck rymmer, han iscensätter sin egen död, tar sig till Jacksons ö där han möter miss Watsons slav Jim som flytt för att slippa bli såld till grymma slavägare en bit längre ned längs Mississippifloden. Tillsammans färdas Huck och Jim längs floden på en flotte. På deras resa genom Södern växer ett allt starkare vänskapsband fram mellan dem båda. De kastas in i halsbrytande äventyr, träffar på stridande klaner och mördare, slår följe med två laglösa ”aristokrater” och innan resans slut träffar de också på Tom Sawyer som sin vana trogen gör sitt bästa för att vända livet upp och ner för dem.
Huckleberry Finns äventyr är Mark Twains (1835–1910) mustiga mästerverk om den amerikanska Söderns nybyggartid. Romanen, själva startskottet för den moderna amerikanska litteraturen, är en protest mot slaveriet, mot skenheligheten hos kristna, en hyllning till vänskap och äventyr och framförallt är Huckleberry Finns äventyr en läsfest vars like ännu inte står att finna.

Skarpsynta samhällskritiska texter som inte saknar vare sig spänst i stilen eller Twains drastiska humor och som fortfarande har en aktualitet ett sekel efter dess tillkomst. Twain behandlar klassiska frågor som patriotism, motsättningen mellan bibeltolkning och religiöst utövande, ifrågasättande av experterna, mänsklig fåfänga i maktens glans, krigets fasor, den amerikanska lynchmentaliteten liksom den vita människans attityd mot och förmenta överlägsenhet gentemot andra folkslag och minoriteter.

The exploits of Tom Sawyer, a consummate prankster with a quick wit, captivate children of all ages. Yet through the novel's humorous escapades, from the episodes of the whitewashed fence and the ordeal in the cave to the trial of Injun Joe, Mark Twain explores deeper themes within the adult world Tom will one day join. These include the baser human instincts of dishonesty and superstition, murder and revenge, starvation and slavery.This edition features a new introduction and notes by leading Mark Twain scholar R. Kent Rasmussen.

They float down the Mississippi on a raft, participating in the lives of the characters they meet, witnessing corruption, moral decay and intellectual impoverishment.

Mark Twain's great American masterpiece, in a gorgeous new clothbound edition designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. These delectable and collectible Penguin editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the designMark Twain's tale of a boy's picaresque journey down the Mississippi on a raft conveyed the voice and experience of the American frontier as no other work had done before. When Huck escapes from his drunken father and the 'sivilizing' Widow Douglas with the runaway slave Jim, he embarks on a series of adventures that draw him to feuding families and the trickery of the unscrupulous 'Duke' and 'Dauphin'. Beneath the exploits, however, are more serious undercurrents - of slavery, adult control and, above all, of Huck's struggle between his instinctive goodness and the corrupt values of society, which threaten his deep and enduring friendship with Jim.Mark Twain was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens on 30th November 1835, in Florida, Missouri. In 1853 he left home, earning a living as an itinerant type-setter, and four years later became an apprentice pilot on the Mississippi, a career cut short by the outbreak of the Civil War. For five years, as a prospector and a journalist, Clemens lived in Nevada and California. In February 1863 he first used the pseudonym 'Mark Twain' as the signature to a humorous travel letter. A trip to Europe and the Holy Land in 1867 became the basis of his first major book, The Innocents Abroad (1869). His numerous subsequent books include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), A Tramp Aborad (1880), The Prince and the Pauper (1882), and his masterpiece, The Adventures of Huckleberry Fin (1885). Twain died on 21st April 1910.'The best book we've had' - Ernest Hemingway

One of the best-known classics of American literature, Mark Twain's indelible novel of boyhood, friendship, and adventure.Few works of fiction are more known and beloved for keenly documenting the triumphs, trials, exultations, and despairs of boyhood than The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Set in 1840s Missouri, Mark Twain's picaresque novel follows a rambunctious, rebellious rascal whose exploits are the delight of the town boys and the bane of the adults trying to “civilize” them at home, in school, and at church.Tom and his friends, including Huck Finn (the son of the town drunk and star of Twain’s subsequent masterpiece, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn), skip school and run away, play pirates and robbers, go hunting in caves, fake their own deaths, poke around haunted houses, frolic along the river banks, and triumphantly interrupt their own funeral sermons. They believe in magic and superstitions, witness body snatchers and murder, and search for—and find—buried treasure.Twain's mastery of satire and droll humor, his unparalleled narrative skill in capturing the incomparable fierce joys of childhood, and his piercing attentiveness to the ever-present tension between the freedom of adolescence and the confining expectations of social propriety have made this timeless tale of Americana a revered classic for generations that continues to enthrall readers today.This deluxe edition features French flaps, a deckle edge, and a stunning cover designed using authentic printers and metal/wood type manufactured in the 1840s.

'Tom was a glittering hero once more - the pet of the old, and the envy of the young...There were some that believed he would be President yet, if he escaped hanging.'In this enduring and internationally popular novel, Mark ogaincombines social satire and dime-novel sensation with a rhapsody on boyhood and on America's pre-industrial past. Tom Sawyer is resilient, enterprising, and vainglorious. In a series of adventures along the banks of the Mississippi, he usually manages to come out on top. From petty triumphs over his friends and over his long-suffering Aunt Polly, to his intervention in a murder trial, Tom engages readers of all ages. He has long been a defining figure in the American cultural imagination.Alongside the charm and the excitement, Twain raises serious questions about community, race, and the past. Above all, the book invites discussion of the way in which childhood is invoked to counter the uncomfortable truths of the adult world. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

”Mark Twain”, pseudonym för Samuel Langhorn Clemens, född 1835, författare, reporter och tidningsman. Namnet ”Mark Twain” är egentligen en djupangivelse som talade om när det var tillräckligt djupt (två famnar) för båtarna att åka på Mississippifloden. Genombrottet som författare kom med Tom Sawyers äventyr 1876. Huckleberry Finn var en fortsättning av genombrottsromanen och handlar om en pojke som föredrar att lösa problem på sitt eget sätt och slingrar sig ur samhällets uppfostringsförsök. Det var en kontroversiell historia när den kom 1884 och är en svidande vidräkning med det amerikanska klass- och slavsamhället, inbäddad i en spännande och humoristisk äventyrsroman.

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.

Mark Twains uppväxtskildring Tom Sawyers äventyr [The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, 1876] tillhör de mest älskade amerikanska romanerna genom tiderna. Tom Sawyer har rykte om sig att vara en upptågsmakare. Han bor med sin moster Polly i den djupt troende småstaden Saint Petersburg, men när de går i kyrkan roar han sig hellre med att uppvigla en skalbagge än att lyssna till predikan. Den sommar som skildras i Tom Sawyers äventyr ägnar han åt hyss och ungdomliga äventyr, ofta tillsammans med vännen Huckleberry Finn, som är »hjärtligt hatad och fruktad av alla stans mödrar«. I svensk översättning av Jan Ristarp.
MARK TWAIN [1835-1910] var en amerikansk författare uppväxt i Missouri, som också utgör miljön i flera av hans romaner. Mest känd är han för de tidlösa uppväxtskildringarna Tom Sawyers äventyr [The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, 1876] och Huckleberry Finns äventyr [Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, 1884]. Twains författarskap är starkt knutet till den amerikanska identiteten och William Faulkner ansåg honom vara den amerikanska litteraturens fader, medan Ernest Hemingway har sagt att »All modern amerikansk litteratur är sprungen ur Mark Twains Huckleberry Finn«.

‘Now he found out a new thing – namely, that to promise not to do a thing is the surest way in the world to make a body want to go and do that very thing.’An idyllic snapshot of a boy’s childhood along the banks of the Mississippi River, Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is the author’s work that comes closest to his boyhood experiences of growing up in Hannibal in the 1840s.Mischievous and full of energy, Tom enjoys childish pranks and pastimes with his friends, Huck Finn, the town outcast and Joe Harper, his best friend. However, at the town graveyard, Huck and Tom witness a murder, carried out by local vagabond Injun Joe. They vow never to tell a soul about what they have seen and so begins their journey into adulthood as Tom wrestles with his own morality, guilt and anxiety.A ‘coming of age’ tale, it is through Tom’s adventures and relationships with others that he becomes more responsible and more aware of his own inner conflict. Through the central characters of Tom and Huck, Twain satirises the moral rigidity of society and adult hypocrisy, whilst at the same time giving a nostalgic portrayal of a young boy’s journey into adulthood.

Unbeknownst to those around them, the boys strike up an unlikely friendship and soon realise that with their similar looks they could easily pass for one another.When the Prince’s father dies, some of the more underhand court officials persuade the pauper to act as the Prince in order to reap the benefits of the ‘mistake’ and there follows a tale of friendship and growing up in one of Mark Twain’s most infamous works.

HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics.‘You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.’Knocked unconscious, it is only when mechanic Hank Morgan comes to that he finds himself in 6th-century England rather than nineteenth-century America. Surrounded by the traditions and customs of Camelot and King Arthur’s court, Morgan dislikes the hereditary social class structure and state church and attempts to instil his American idealism and love for technology and progress in King Arthur’s people. Hugely comedic and satirical in its take on the British monarchy and society, the book remains one of Twain’s most original and best-loved works.
