His honor, whether it was aim ed at pure entertainment or at social satire, was irresistible. His realism, and details influenced many later American novelists. That was why Ernest Hemingway once said “all modern American literatures came from one book written by Mark Twain called The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” And it became Twain‟s masterpiece. Mark Twain‟s three years‟ life on that returned to the Mississippi left such a fond memory with him that returned to the theme more than once in his writing career. Huckleberry Finn is a v eritable recreation of living models, and is Huck‟s book, not Jim‟s. The two major characters, Huck and Jim, represent the two sides of the dilemma: Huck strikes out for an absolute freedom, while Jim requires, in order to gain his own freedom, that Huck q ualify his freedom by entering into the pursuit of Jim‟s. It starts out as a comedy , an …As You Like It‟ with a hero drawn from the bottom of society rather than the top. Huck and his father, Jim, the swindlers(the Duke and the Dauphin), colonel sherburn and the drunkard Boggy-all these characters prototypes in real life. The portrayal of individual incidents and characters achieved intense verisimilitude of detail. Serious problems are being discussed through the narration of a little illiterate boy. The fact that the wilderness juxtaposed with civilization, the people half wild and half civilized, many of whom are worse, vulgar, are brutal. As for the style of the book, the form is based on the simplest of all novel-forms, the so-called picaresque novel, or novel of the road, which strings its incidents on the line of the hero‟s travels. But, in this novel, rivers are roads that move, and the movement of the road in its own mysterious life transmutes the primitive simplicity of the from: the road itself is the greatest character in this novel of the road, and the hero‟s departures from the river and his returns to it compose a subtle and significant pattern. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn shows us the major achievements of his art: the masterful use of dialects; humor and pathos,innocence and evil. This novel demonstrates his ability to capture the enduring, archetypal, mythic images of America and to create the most memorable characters in all of American fiction.Use of Colloquial LanguageThe book is written in a colloquial style, in the general standard speech of uneducated Americans. Moreover, the prose of Huckleberry Finn established the prose virtues of American colloquial speech. It has something to do with ease and freedom in the use of language. Most of all, it has to do with the structure of the sentence, which is simple, direct, and fluent, maintaining the rhythm of the word‟s group of speech and the intonations of the speaking voice. Mark Twain‟s colloquial style has influenced a large number of American writers.The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn displays the major achievements of his art: the carefully controlled point of view, with its implicit ironies expressed through the voice of a semiliterate boy: the masterful use of dialects: the felicitous balancing of nostalgic humorist and realism, humor and pathos, innocence and evil, all united for a journey down the Mississippi that serves as the mythic center of the novel. This novel demonstrates his ability to capture the enduring, archetypal, mythic images of America and to create the most memorable characters in all of American fiction. Satire in The Adventures of Huckleberry FinnSatire is a way of criticizing people or ideas in a humorous way to show that they have faults or are wrong, or a piece of writing or play, which uses this style. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Twain shows satire on southern culture before the civil war, when the Mississippi valley was still being settled. Twain blended two different subjects, the experience of westward expansion and the experience of southern slavery. And he wrote about both regains of the country. His attitudes toward the south were much less pleasant than his attitudes toward the west, because he confronted the south problem of slave of mistreatment of humans by humans. Through the change of the white boy Huck‟s attitude toward Jim, a runaway black slave, Twain condemned racial discrimination. Twain made fun of typical American values, yet underneath he felt a brooding pessimism not only about American valuablebut also about life itself. It was a dreadful thing to see Human beings be awful cruel to one another. Due to Twain‟s own experience, satire is successfully used in this novel. There‟s one significant scene which should be r emembered, Huck Finn witnesses many instances of cruelty, brutality and hypocrisy in the township along the river Here are four points about his satire in this novel.Vernacular LanguageMark Twain wrote in his unpretentious, colloquial, and poetic style. He used vernacular language, dialect with spelling representing pronunciation. Part of this comes from his interest in humor. The directness of the language is a very influential point in Twain‟s style. Ernest Hemingway in the 20th century said that h e had learnt his craft from Mark Twain because if the direct speech and the direct narration that Twain was able to achieve. The hoax and tall tale are also part of twain‟s style. Hoax is writing something fantastic and pretending that it were true, much like the tall tale. It tolls as if it were true, and so the reader would laugh that any body could believe such preposterous things, the burlesque making fun of establishes ways of writing. Mark Twain said, “I amend dialect stuff by talking and talking i t till it sounds right.” He wanted his writing to have the sound of easy-going speech. In Huckleberry Finn the fountainhead of the American colloquial prose, he wrote seven different dialects and each can be distinguished. If the reader is a linguist, he can examine the different pronunciations that Twain has shown. In his own time, dialect writing was considered humorous. People got a big laugh out of reading these misspell words. Another feature of the book, which helps to make it famous is its language. The book is written in the colloquial style in the general standard speech of uneducated Americans.. Mark Twain‟s introductory note on accents is an indication of his conscious attempt to achieve accurate detail. “In this book,” he says, “a number of dialects are used, to wit: the Missouri Negro dialect; the extreme forms of the backwoods southwestern dialect; the ordinary …pike country‟ dialect; and four modified varieties of this last. The shadings have not been done in a haphazard fashion, or by guesswork; but painstakingly, and with the trustworthy guidance andsupport of personal familiarity, with these several forms of speech.” “Painstaking ” and “not haphazard,” though they possess a humorous ring, denote the conscientious effort on the part of the au thor, and trustworthiness and familiarity and the author‟s awareness of dialects in using which reveal his attempt to reproduce actual daily speech with a degree of accuracy. A recent and very influential recasting of Huck‟s vernacular voice has identified. We may quote a passage from this masterpiece as an illustration:“I took the sack of corn meal and took it to where the canoe was hid, and shoved the vines and branches apart and put it in; then I done the same with the side of bacon; then the whisky-jug. I took all the coffee and sugar there was, and all the ammunition;I took the wadding; I took the bucket and gourd; took a dipper and a tin cup, and my old son and two blankets, and the skillet and the coffee-pot/ I took fish lines and matches and other things- everything that was worth a cent. I cleaned out the place I wanted an ax, but there wasn‟t any, only the one out at woodpile, and I know why I was going to leave that. I fetched out the gun, and now I was done.”The words used here are, p erhaps “ammunition” which is etymologically French, mostly Anglo-Saxon in origin, and are short, concrete and direct in effect. Sentence structures are most of them simple or compound, with a series of “then” and “ands” and semi-colons serving as connectiv es. The repetition of the word “took” and the stringing together of things leave the impression that Mark Twain depend solely on the concrete object and action for the body and movement of his prose. What is more, there is an ungrammatical element, which gives the final finish to his style. The whole book approximates the actual speech habit of an uneducated boy from south American of the mid-nineteenth century.The vernacular language in the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn initiated the new style of language in American novels, and has had significant influence upon American writers of later generations.A Combination of Colloquial Language and SatireTo sum up, fundamentally, Twain is a great American writer. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an outstanding novel; one of the most successful writing styles is a combination of colloquial language and satire. In fact, most of Twain‟s works are the combination of bothcolloquial language and satire, but The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was a case in point. On the other hand, it is his masterpiece as a humorist while the novel also can be eyed as a satire on sentimentality and Romanticism on the other. We have ever seen colloquial language and satire in some works, but no one‟s writing is so appropriate like Twain‟s. It displays American culture out of the ordinary and the attitude toward the entire society. In this book, the author use the first character to narrate, meanwhile colloquial language as the main writing language has come into the stage, in order to have the effect on vivid writing, satire is come out. In this situation, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn displays the major achievements of his art: writing in a rich and intricate style that supported his intense scrutiny of complex human experience.The Significance of Mark Twain’s Writing StylesColloquial language and satire are so important in this novel. This image of the quintessential American writing is not really literary goes along with a vision of the great American novel but as a sort of spontaneous telling of unmediated experience. In the same passage Hemingway explains that he has never been able to read Thoreau for being unable to read literary naturalists, only those who are extremely accurate. There aren‟t nothing more to write about, and I am rotten glad of it, remarks Huck at the end of his story. The heart of Twain‟s achievement is his creation of Huck Finn, who embodies that mythic America, midway between the wilderness and the modern super state. That was why Ernest Hemingway once said “all modern American literatures came from one book written by Mark Twain called The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” And it became Twain‟s masterpiece. In short, neither enlightenment nor retrospection elevates the style or the philosophy of Huckleberry Finn‟s narrator into the high culture that has placed the work itself at its pinnacle. ConclusionAs one of America‟s first and foremost realists and humorists, Mark Twain usually wrote about his own personal experiences and things he knew about from firsthand experience. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is Twain‟s best book because, for whatever reasons, he brought together in it, with the highest degree of artistic balance, those most fundamental dualities running through his work and life from start to finish. Most of all it has to do with the structure of the sentence, which is simple, direct, and fluent, maintaining the rhythm of the word‟s group of speech and the intonations of the speaking voice. Mark Twain‟s colloquial sty le has influenced a large number of American writers. Twain depicted mostly the lower class of society. Meanwhile, local color mixed romantic plots with realistic descriptions of things which were readily observed, i.e. with the customs, dialects, sights, smell and sounds of regional America. Twain shows satire on southern culture before the civil war, when the Mississippi valley was still being settled. Twain blended two different subjects, the experience of westward expansion and the experience of southern slavery. His contribution to the development of realism and to American literature as a whole was partly through his colloquialism and satire. Commenting on Mark Twain as a social critic, Philip Foner observes that Twain‟s social criticism ranks with tha t of Milton, Swift, Defoe, and Bernard Shaw both in literary quality and influence on public opinion, and that it is an important part of Twain‟s bequest. In this novel, one of the most successful writing styles is a combination of colloquial language and satire, it displays the major achievements of his art: writing in a rich and intricate style that supported his intense scrutiny of complex human experience. It is only right that Mark Twain should be remembered both as a great literary artistand a great social critic in the history of the United States.。

从《哈克贝利.费恩历险记》看马克.吐温作品中的美国地方特色主义理念的体现

从《哈克贝利.费恩历险记》看马克.吐温作品中的美国地方特色主义理念的体现2010-10-13 地方特色主义是19世纪中晚期在美国南方作家中流行的一种写作风格。
这种风格的产生依赖于大量使用特定地区方言俚语、地方生活习惯及情景。
在《崩溃的偶像》里,哈姆林·加兰将地方特色注意定义为"这样的结构和背景是没有任何地方的任何人可以准确地描绘出来的,除了土生土长的美国人"。
加兰所说的"结构"是指具有本土文化特征的元素,"背景"包括自然背景和哪些与众不同的而且塑造了人类思想和行为的风貌。
地方特色主义的最终目标是将本土世界的特点描述出来,使之与外面的世界区分开来。
到1880年,这类题材的小说达到了大众喜欢的最高峰。
著名乡土文学专家马克·吐温的作品《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》(1884)被称为美国第一步伟大的小说,并且是第一步用方言写作的小说。
该小说真实展示和演绎了密西西比河沿岸的人和物,以第一人称的角度描述了白人孩子哈克帮助黑人逃奴获得自由地历险经历。
自1884年第一次出版,该书就取得巨大成功并一直被认为是西方文学与文明的巨著之一,同时也是地方特色主义文学的经典之作。
在这部小数里,吐温在人物形象、语言特色和主题思想三个方面,都体现了他的地方特色主义的理念。
一、人物形象——变首先选择13岁左右的白人少年哈克和黑奴吉姆作为小说的主人公本身就是一种突破,是非常有意义的。
哈克从小没有受过家庭、学校和社会的教育,是真正的放荡不羁的角色;而吉姆是勇敢坚强、忠诚无私、向往自由的黑人形象。
这样的主要人物形象在当时的主流小说里并不常见,但却是当时动乱的美国南部密西西比河地区人们的一些缩影。
故事发生在大约1850年美国内战前夕,那时人们正移居到密西西比山谷中,这里的美国充满着暴力和残酷,然而却仍保留着"一些简单、天真和安宁"。
在哈克生活的这个密西西比河岸的小镇,人们有着小地方主义的保守和狭隘。
从《哈克贝利 费恩历险记》看马克 吐温的人道主义

从《哈克贝利费恩历险记》看马克吐温的人道主义从《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》看马克·吐温的人道主义马克·吐温是美国文学史上最具影响力的作家之一,他的作品以幽默、讽刺和人性深思著称。
《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》是他最著名的作品之一,通过描述小说中主人公哈克的冒险经历,吐温揭示了当时美国社会的丑陋面貌,并深刻表达了他的人道主义观点。
在小说中,哈克是一个孤儿,成长于一个落后、种族歧视严重的南方城镇。
小说以他与逃离奴隶制的吉姆一起展开的冒险为线索,探讨了种族歧视、奴隶制度以及人性的诸多问题。
吐温通过哈克的经历,揭示了当时社会的不公正和偏见,并倡导了人道主义思想。
首先,吐温通过描写哈克与吉姆之间的友谊,表达了对人性的关怀和尊重。
哈克和吉姆来自不同的社会阶层和种族,他们的友谊被社会所不容,但哈克在吉姆身上看到了对方的善良和真实的自我。
吉姆为哈克默默付出,即使在哈克对吉姆的身份产生怀疑时,吉姆始终保持善良和慈爱。
通过这种纯真而真挚的友谊,吐温呼吁人们超越种族和社会框架,以人性的善良和真诚来对待他人。
其次,吐温通过描绘南方社会的黑暗面,抨击了奴隶制度和种族歧视。
小说中,哈克亲眼目睹了黑奴吉姆受到的不公正和残酷对待。
吉姆被视为财产,缺乏基本的人权和尊严。
吐温用生动细腻的笔触描写了吉姆的苦难和内心挣扎,揭示了奴隶制度对人性的摧残。

《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》写作风格赏析

《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》写作风格赏析第一篇:《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》写作风格赏析《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》写作风格赏析《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》描述了白人孩子哈克和黑奴吉姆如何结下深厚友谊的故事。
哈克为了逃避酒鬼父亲的虐待,逃到小岛上,巧遇逃奴吉姆,两人于是结伴而行,试图从密西西比河上逃往北方的自由州。
哈克受反动教育影响,觉得不应该帮助逃奴,但是在后来的漂流生活中,逐渐被吉姆善良无私的性格所感动,表示宁肯冒着下地狱的危险,也要帮助吉姆得到自由。
他们一路上历尽艰险,遭遇民队的追捕、骗子的虐待以及各种自然灾害。
在两人的同心协力下,所有艰险均被化解。
最终,哈克在好朋友汤姆的帮助下救出了被骗子卖掉的吉姆,并得知女主人在遗嘱中已宣布解除吉姆的奴隶身份。
小说中,马克·吐温借哈克之口,直观具体地叙述孩子的真实感受,自己并没有站出来宣讲主题、表明倾向。
这样,不同读者对作品的倾向有了不同的理解,对小说中的暗示、象征也作了不同的阐释。
所以,这部小说也比较全面地体现了马克·吐温创作的艺术魅力。
首先,作品通过主人公的“游记”经历反映了当时社会的阴暗面。
在小说中,平静清新、生机勃勃的密西西比河与河岸上的世俗刻板、虚伪冷酷构成了鲜明对比:木筏上的逍遥惬意,河岸上的奔波劳碌;哈克与吉姆之间相互尊重、平等不分种族、患难与共不分彼此的友谊,河岸上种族、地位等世俗上的欺诈争斗等等,通过游记过程中的对比,凸现了河岸生活所代表的当时所谓的文明社会的阴暗面。
比如人与人之间的冷漠、尔虞我诈,骗子敲诈欺骗,流氓火拼,世仇械斗,地头蛇枪杀无辜,小混混热衷闹事等等,一副社会全景就在哈克与吉姆的旅途中展现出来了。
马克·吐温的艺术才华是多方面的。
小说的艺术描写表现了他独特的艺术风格。
最突出的就是“马克·吐温式的幽默”———含有深刻的讽刺和批判的成份,并服从于刻画特殊人物需要的幽默。

这是马克•吐温的代表作,是美国文学史上一部优秀的作品,是于英国文学的窠臼中散发出新大陆的清新气息的一笔力作。
美国的文坛硬汉,著名的小说家海明威曾经这样评价这本著作:“所有美国文学,都起自马克•吐温的一本叫做《哈克贝利•费恩历险记》的书。
这是我们中间最好的一本书。
《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》的故事背景是美国19世纪50年代南北战争之后的密西西比河沿岸,以冒险经历为线索,讲述了为了反抗束缚,向往自由的白人小孩哈克和试图逃脱奴隶买卖的黑奴吉姆两人结伴沿密西西比河顺流而下,历经各种磨难,寻求心中自由之地的故事。
这部小说展示了作者驾驭口语方言,刻画世态人情,勾勒人物性格,白描大河上自然风光的非凡写作功力与才华。
他擅长使用幽默和讽刺,针砭时弊时一针见血,毫不留情,其创作将现实主义的刻画和浪漫主义的抒情和谐地统一。
所以说这部小说比较全面地体现了马克•吐温创作的艺术魅力。
一、写作风格分析及作品的反响(一)写作风格分析1.通俗畅晓、朴素浅白的方言式口语美国独立后六七十年,虽说已有一些文学作品的出版,却让摆脱不了原来的宗主英国文学的影响,无论在文学创作上的内容,主题与风格皆不能形成独具一格的美国特色。
在马克•吐温之前鲜少有人用口语式的语言书写文学作品,而《哈克贝利•费恩历险记》的出版无疑是开创了方言式口语写作的先河,颠覆了传统。
究其原因,就是作者于青少年时代—一生中最为敏感的时期漂流在广阔的密西西比河上,观察者当时美国社会上各种形形色色的人物与事件;与此同时,马克•吐温接触到了社会上的各种人物以及天南地北,南辕北辙的不同方言土语。
在《哈克贝利•费恩历险记》中,马克吐温融合、提炼、吸收大量的方言土语运用了密西西比河的水手行话,正如他所取得笔名所呈现的;密苏里的土人土语、西南边疆地区的方言以及密西西比河流域的普通方言及其四个变种。
就像黑人吉米的语言中存在大量的俚语,如“Dog my cats ef I didn’hear sumf’n”这种独特的方言式表达,形成了独特的美式写作风格。
且马克•吐温用美国人的语言叙述了美国人自己的故事,他所用的语言不再是欧洲人所推崇的“高雅”,即用在古时中国饱读诗书的读书人才能读懂的“之乎者也”。
而是采用了群众们生活时所说的语言,在其基础上加工锤炼而得来的具有美国民族特色的文学语言,《哈克贝利•费恩历险记》的出版确立了方言在美国文学作品上的地位。
2.第一人称的故事叙述在故事叙事过程中,马克•吐温成功的运用了第一人称叙述,让主人公哈克自己讲自己的经历故事,与自传相似,增加了小说的真实性,让读者对他的经历无疑。
纵观全书,从第一句始到最后一句终,都只有一个声音,就是“我”的声音,这个我并非马克•吐温,而是哈克-一个只由十四岁的,天真,诚实的小男孩。
读者跟随着哈克的脚步从备受束缚的地方逃离至密西西比河,开始在河上的漂流时光,以其在密西西比河沿岸的所见所闻,展现了广阔的现实生活,将读者的情感与哈克的情感系于一处,如临其境,也使读者更加的能真实体会到哈克对现实刻板、虚伪的生活的厌恶以及对自由冒险的新生活的热切向往。
亦能从文中对于寡妇对于他的拘束中看出一二,“寡妇的一举一动老师循规蹈矩而且古板沉闷,在她家里我总觉得难受,实在受不了,我就设法溜之大吉,穿回我过去的破衣裳,又钻回我那个大木桶,觉得逍遥自在,心满意足…”马克•吐温精心设计的第一人称叙述的创作手法,使得读者仿若观看电影一般,以清晰地视角,真实的感受体会到了主人公哈克的经历以及心路历程,又能正确的了解美国当时的社会背景以及判断当时的社会现实。
3.融为一体的幽默与讽刺马克•吐温开始创作时,美国的幽默文学正是鼎盛时期,这种文学的根源在西部的口头文学,怪诞,极度夸张是该文学的特色。
当时西部各州的居民、农民、金矿工人、伐木工人中流传中许多荒诞、怪异的、极为有趣的故事和笑话,有不少作家以这些故事及笑话为基础进行创作,但是他们只将这些创作当作是生活中、工作中的一种消遣,以幽默为幽默,没有什么深刻的内在思想内含。
马克•吐温则不然,他不以幽默为幽默,而是将幽默与现实社会中的不良现象结合起来,极尽讽刺的抨击当时美国社会的现状。
用他自己的话说就是“不能一味的逗乐,要有更高的理想。
”基于此思想指导,马克•吐温将美国民间文学不断地剖析,汲取之中的营养,创造出了伟大的文学。
形成了独特的写作风格。
而在《哈克贝利•费恩历险记》中描写了“国王”与“公爵”两个骗子丑陋滑稽的表演,为了诈取他人钱财,他们极尽无耻之道,马克•吐温将其在“舞台”上的表演描写的惟妙惟肖,用极尽夸张的话语,逗人乐的西部幽默结合他丰富的生活经历,锐利的眼光,犀利的笔锋,透过那些表面荒谬可笑的现象洞悉事物的内在本质,讽刺了当时的美国社会,具有深刻的现实含义。
4.现实中正义与非正义矛盾心理的精心刻画马克•吐温来自于中下层社会,更多的能看到资本主义发展过程中的黑暗和不公平现象,特别是蓄奴制的残酷与不人道。
而且当时,白人对黑人的歧视与偏见已经根深蒂固,很难一下子彻底除去,压迫黑人在潜意识里仍然是合情合理的。
主人公哈克和吉姆代表的是珍视友谊追求自由诚实勇敢的正义一方,而岸上以文明自我标榜的虚伪、世仇、欺诈、压迫黑奴代表了非正义一方。
以一个十四岁的小孩子的视角来看待黑人的问题,从现实的角度来说可以说是不成熟地、幼稚地、初级的、潜意识的,但何尝不是可靠的呢?小孩子的思想虽说是不成熟的,在大人或社会的影响下可以说是被改造的,所以才会有那一幕哈克打算写信告发吉姆。
但是,经过流浪的哈克已并非是那个被大人与社会改造的哈克,而是一个向往自由,拥有冒险精神,珍惜友谊的哈克,两个“哈克”内心的较量,代表了非正义一方与正义一方的互博,当哈克决定冲破当时主流社会的种种教化,毅然决然地把写好的告发吉姆的信撕掉,冒天下之大不韪,不顾被“打入地狱”的危险而站在了当时被围追堵截的黑人吉姆一边时,显而易见,正义的一方赢取了胜利,这正是马克•吐温所要表达的不论种族、肤色人人平等的思想,对当时社会现实的反抗。
这种正义与非正义之间的对比,在读者心中更加分明深刻,一针见血。
5.思想性与艺术统一性马克•吐温别处心裁的创作在于他能运用自己在现实中的所见所闻,以及自身的经历,将其描绘成一个个盎然有趣的故事。
小说通过顺流飘荡的一叶木筏体现了密西西比河两岸的图景:凋敝的农村、繁华的城市、贫富的对立、凶恶的世仇、残酷的种族压迫……形象地反映了南北战争前后的美国社会。
小说中对现实生活中的密西西比河沿岸的优美风景,浑然天成的自然景观,惊心动魄的历险故事与资本主义虚伪的“文明”“繁荣”相比较;将充满了探险、充斥了自由思想的新生活与枯燥无味,充满了束缚,到处充斥着教条主义的学校生活作为对比。
丰富的对照生活烘托了真与伪、美与丑、善于恶的教育,而且使小说结构错落有致,摇曳生姿,充满了趣味性、思想性与知识性。
(二)对文学界的影响1.小说的需求扩大对小说的需求扩张到了美国以外的地方。
《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》在1884年10月10日在加拿大和英国出版,并于1885年2月18日在美国出版。
1885年,布法罗公共图书馆长詹姆斯·格鲁克(James Fraser Gluck)向马克•吐温索要原稿,希望对方可以赠给图书馆。
2.对当时美国文学氛围的影响就1885年小说出版对文学氛围的影响而言,亨利·史密斯(Henry Nash Smith)写道马克·吐温已经出版了许多其它作品,是个出了名的“专业幽默家”。
史密斯认为对小说而言,“脱掉十九世纪颓废的浪漫主义是必要的行动”,《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》不但展示出“之前难以达到的想象力,而且使用了当地俗语,为二十世纪美国散文和诗歌提供了新的愉悦和能量源泉。
”且被美国“普利策评论奖”获得者乔纳森·维德利推荐为“影响美国特性最大的10本书”之一3.在西方文学界的反响“谁能比奥德修斯更像希腊人?或者比浮士德更像德国人?比唐吉珂德更像西班牙人?比哈克•费恩更像美国人?”这是二十世纪美国著名诗人及文学批评家托•斯•艾略特在一次有关美国美学的讲座中所做的论断。
