Mark Twain, página 10 de 81

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."
