Las aventuras de Huck, de Mark Twain (seudónimo del autor Samuel Langhorne Clemens, 1835-1910), es un texto que forma parte de los clásicos de la juventud, junto a las Fábulas, de La Fontaine, y el Robinson Crusoe, de Daniel Defoe. Huck, el joven protagonista, es el hijo de la Naturaleza en medio de la Naturaleza. Huérfano de madre, y obligado a escapar de un padre alcohólico, se emancipa por un principio de innata rectitud. Él no cree ser virtuoso, pero su vida es un ejemplo de moral sin cánones. Huck, el hijo aterrorizado, y Jim, el negro esclavo que huye de los horrores de su condición, bajan por el río Misisipí -fuerza elemental que es realmente el héroe central de la obra-, en una balsa. Se unen en ese encuentro el instinto y la inocencia. Twain saca de esas dos bondades un símbolo: el poder elemental de las fuerzas morales en la vida y la afirmación del bien.

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."
