19、for a special purpose connected with some public transaction with a foreign country. For some reason or other only one of these had been used and canceled; the other still lay in the vaults of the Bank. Well, the brothers, chatting along, happened to get to wonder what might be the fate of a perfect

20、ly honest and intelligent stranger who should be turned adrift in London without a friend, and with no money but that million-pound bank-note, and no way to account for his being in possession of it. Brother A said he would starve to death; Brother B said he wouldnt. Brother A said he couldnt offer

21、it at a bank or anywhere else, because he would be arrested on the spot. So they went on disputing till Brother B said he would bet twenty thousand pounds that the man would live thirty days. They thought “me” to be the right person, a poor, honest and intelligent stranger. They handed “me” an envel

The boss who looked down upon me at first changed his attitude completely. He flattered me that I could have anything I w

23、anted, any time I chose, and let the account run as long as I pleased. They all treated me as an honored guest. Then “I” got into a tailors shop, the same thing happened. “I” drifted naturally into buying whatever I wanted, and asking for change. “I” owned the respect and fell in love with a girl, P

Major Works by Mark TwainThe Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County (1867)The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County was first published in the November 18, 1865, edition of The New York Saturday Press und

37、er the title “Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog.” The story, which has also been published as “The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County”, is set in a gold-mining camp in Calaveras County, California, and has its origins in the folklore of the Gold Rush era. It was one of Twains earliest writings

38、, and helped establish his reputation as a humorist. He eventually included it as the title story in his first collection of tales.The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876)(From the Preface) Most of the adventures recorded in this book really occurred; one or two were experiences of my own, the rest those

39、 of boys who were schoolmates of mine. Huck Finn is drawn from life; Tom Sawyer also, but not from an individualhe is a combination of the characteristics of three boys whom I knew, and therefore belongs to the composite order of architecture.The odd superstitions touched upon were all prevalent amo

Although my book is intended mainly for the entertainment of boys and girls, I hope it will not be shunned by men and women on that account, for part of my plan has been to try to pleasantly remi

41、nd adults of what they once were themselves, and of how they felt and thought and talked, and what queer enterprises they sometimes engaged in.-THE AUTHORHARTFORD, 1876The Prince and the Pauper (1881)Edward Tudor and Tom Canty are the same age and share the same features only one of them is a pauper

42、s child and the other is the heir to the throne of England. When chance brings the boys together, they decide for fun to switch clothes, but fate suddenly casts them into each others worlds. Tom learns what is to be caught in the pomp and folly of the royal court and the young prince learns what it

43、is to survive in the lower depths of 16th century English society. Through the switched identities Mark Twain has fashioned both a scathing attack on social hypocrisy and injustice, and an irresistible comedy imbued with the sense of spirited play that belongs to this creative period. The delightful

44、 fable of The Prince and the Pauper has delighted readers young and old for over 100 years.Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884)Mark Twains classic novel, Adventures of Huckle-berry Finn, tells the story of a teenage misfit who finds himself floating on a raft down the Mississippi River with an esca

45、ping slave, Jim. In the course of their perilous journey, Huck and Jim meet with adventure, danger, and a cast of characters who are sometimes menacing and often hilarious. Although the story was mostly written in the 1880s it is set in the time of slavery prior to the Civil War. Twain uses Hucks pr

46、edicaments to illustrate the failure of reconstruction in the post-Civil War South.A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court (1889)A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court is held to be one of the words first stories about time travel. The main character, Hank Morgan, superintendent at the Colt F

47、irearms Factory in Hartford, Connecticut, is hit on the head in a fight, knocking him unconscious. He wakes up in the time of King Arthur and uses his 19th century sensibilities and know how to gain power over the people. Hank introduces conveniences and structures familiar to 1880s Hartford such as

48、 schools, factories, bicycles, and gunpowder. At first, Hank is convinced that his ideas will do the citizens of Arthurs court good, but as he takes command he turns more and more to violence and loses control of his circumstances. Connecticut Yankee was one of the last large-scale novels Mark Twain produced and its dark, cynical themes foreshadow ideas he would delve into mo
