Böcker av Mark Twain

It was many years ago. Hadleyburg was the most honest and upright town in all the region round about. It had kept that reputation unsmirched during three generations, and was prouder of it than of any other of its possessions. It was so proud of it, and so anxious to insure its perpetuation, that it began to teach the principles of honest dealing to its babies in the cradle, and made the like teachings the staple of their culture thenceforward through all the years devoted to their education. Also, throughout the formative years temptations were kept out of the way of the young people, so that their honesty could have every chance to harden and solidify, and become a part of their very bone. But at last, in the drift of time, Hadleyburg had the ill luck to offend a passing stranger-possibly without knowing it, certainly without caring, for Hadleyburg was sufficient unto itself, and cared not a rap for strangers or their opinions. Still, it would have been well to make an exception in this one's case, for he was a bitter man, and revengeful. All through his wanderings during a whole year he kept his injury in mind, and gave all his leisure moments to trying to invent a compensating satisfaction for it. He contrived many plans, and all of them were good, but none of them was quite sweeping enough: the poorest of them would hurt a great many individuals, but what he wanted was a plan which would comprehend the entire town, and not let so much as one person escape unhurt. At last he had a fortunate idea, and when it fell into his brain it lit up his whole head with an evil joy. He began to form a plan at once, saying to himself "That is the thing to do-I will corrupt the town." (From Chapter One)

Prepared by the Mark Twain Papers, the official archive of Sam Clemens's papers at the University of California, Berkeley, this volume also contains a wealth of helpful explanatory notes, along with a selection of original documents by Mark Twain, including several letters in his inimitable voice about writing Tom Sawyer and about its original publication--everything the discerning reader needs to enjoy this classic of American literature again and again"--Back cover.

अमेरिकी साहित्य में सबसे महान व्यंग्यकारों में से एक, मार्क ट्वेन की 'ए कनेक्टिकट यांकी इन किंग आर्थर कोर्ट' तब शुरू होती है, जब उन्नीसवीं शताब्दी के न्यू इंग्लैंड के हथियार कारखाने में एक कुशल मैकेनिक, एक झगड़े के दौरान सिर पर मारा जाता है और खोजने के लिए जागता है किंग आर्थर के कैमलॉट के शूरवीरों और जादूगरों के बीच खुद को। 'यांकी' ने "पूरे देश को तीन सप्ताह के अंदर हरा देने" की कसम खाई और 19 वीं सी के साथ कैमलॉट को आधुनिक बनाने की महत्वाकांक्षी योजना पर जोर दिया। बिजली और गोलियों की तरह औद्योगिक आविष्कार। यह सभी नरक ढीले टूटने से पहले लंबा नहीं है!
