Mark Twain, página 7 de 79

Escritas en 1906, y censuradas por sus herederos hasta 1963, estas consideraciones sobre la religión son una lectura sorprendente y original; un conjunto de pensamientos -en ocasiones ácidamente críticos, otras, crueles e incluso irreverentes- que no deja indiferente.

The War Prayer Mark Twain - Written by Mark Twain during the Philippine-American War in the first decade of the twentieth century, The War Prayer tells of a patriotic church service held to send the towns young men off to war.

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
