Las aventuras de Huckleberry Finn (1884) narra las peripecias de un muchacho que escapa de su casa huyendode su padre y de un esclavo negro llamado Jim que pretende recobrar su libertad. El río Misisipi es el telon de fondode una historia a medio camino entre la novela de aventuras y el relato picaresco, en la que se abordan temasfundamentales como la amistad o el racismo. Narrada por el propio Huck Finn, el inseparable amigo de Tom Sawyer, estanovela fue, segun Ernest Hemingway, el punto de origen de la literatura norteamericana contemporanea. Huck se asociacon el esclavo fugado de la señorita Watson, Jim, y cuando bajan por el Misisipi en una balsa, sus aventuras sonunavariante de las narraciones de esclavos. Aqui la voz proyectada del niño alcanza la genialidad: Huck, al optar por laeleccion socialmente inmoral de ayudar a fugarse al esclavo propiedad privada legitima de alguien, piensa, crea en simismo una moralidad eticamente superior que el define como fuera de la ley, y propia de un vagabundo despreciable comoel. Y Clemens puede lidiar con la monstruosa catastrofe nacional del esclavismo, no de frente, con un sentidomoralizante, a la manera de Harriet Beecher Stowe, sino con el arma mas afilada, la arremetida mas profunda, de laironia. E. L. Doctorow

Tom Sawyer vive en un pueblo a orillas del río Mississippi junto a su tía Polly, de quien suele escaparse para vivir entretenidas aventuras junto a su amigo Huckleberry Finn.

Come sempre candido e scaltro Twain irride ogni cosa, dal governo centrale ai coyote e ci offre una sequenza di 79 capitoli che sono ciascuno un piccolo romanzo, con la prodigalita di un giocatore di roulette che per una volta e uscito dalla bisca per farsi ripulire. Ogni capitolo e una chiacchierata intorno al fuoco e la somma di queste chiacchiere e un''epopea. Twain ride per sopravvivere, e far sopravvivere, in mezzo agli orrori e allo splendore del West.

Tras un incidente fronterizo, el rey de Siam decide enviar como presente a la reina de Inglaterra un verdadero elefante blanco, animal sagrado y destinado a la realeza. En una de las escalas del viaje hacia Londres, el elefante desaparece en Nueva York, hecho que pone en marcha una amplia farsa protagonizada por el autoproclamado genio de los detectives de Nueva York, jefe corrupto e incompetente, en una deliciosamente absurda historia de Mark Twain. ¡Hilarante! El billete de un millon de libras tiene lugar en el Londres eduardiano, donde los hermanos Roderick, ricos y excentricos, dan al desamparado protagonista, Henry Adams, un billete de un millon de libras. Sin saberlo, Henry es la victima de una cruel apuesta: uno de los hermanos sostiene que la mera posesion de este simbolo de riqueza permitira a cualquiera tenerlo todo, sin llegar a hacer efectivo el billete. El otro hermano en cambio opina que la imposibilidad de hacer efectivo el billete lo hace completamente inutil.

Mark Twains "The Jumping Frog : In English, then in French, then clawed back into the civilized language once more by patient unremunerated toil" (1865), also known as "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County", "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" and "Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog."Containing the original story (in english), a french translation which was published in la Revue des Deux Mondes and which Twain finds to be a travesty of the original text, and Twains re-translation of the french back into english, word for word (this is where things degenerate). A masterpiece of babelfishien nonsense dating from well before babelfish was even a gleam in the binary code of its creator (1903). Best appreciated if you can read both French and English, but even if you skip the french version its truly brilliant. If you have ever translated random text using babelfish just because its funny, dont miss this book.As good old Samuel Clemens himself put it in his foreword "I cannot speak the French language, but I can translate very well, though not fast, I being self-educated."
