内容简介：
Book De*ion
Fashioned from the same
experiences that would inspire the masterpiece Huckleberry Finn,
Life on the Mississippi is Mark Twain’s most brilliant and most
personal nonfiction work. It is at once an affectionate evocation
of the vital river life in the steamboat era and a melancholy
reminiscence of its passing after the Civil War, a priceless
collection of humorous anecdotes and folktales, and a unique
glimpse into Twain’s life before he began to write.
Written in a prose style that has been hailed as among the greatest
in English literature, Life on the Mississippi established Twain as
not only the most popular humorist of his time but also America’s
most profound chronicler of the human comedy.
The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature
Memoir of the steamboat era on the Mississippi River before the
American Civil War by Mark Twain, published in 1883. The book
begins with a brief history of the river from its discovery by
Hernando de Soto in 1541. Chapters 4-22 describe Twain's career as
a Mississippi steamboat pilot, the fulfillment of a childhood
dream. The second half of Life on the Mississippi tells of Twain's
return, many years after, to travel the river from St. Louis to New
Orleans. By then the competition from railroads had made steamboats
passe, in spite of improvements in navigation and boat
construction. Twain sees new, large cities on the river, and
records his observations on greed, gullibility, tragedy, and bad
architecture.
About the Author
Mark Twain, born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in 1835, led one of the
most exciting of literary lives. Raised in the river town of
Hannibal, Missouri, Twain had to leave school at age 12 and was
successively a journeyman printer, a steamboat pilot, a halfhearted
Confederate soldier, and a prospector, miner, and reporter in the
western territories. His experiences furnished him with a wide
knowledge of humanity, as well as with the perfect grasp of local
customs and speech which manifests itself in his writing.
With the publication in 1865 of The Celebrated Jumping Frog of
Calaveras County, Twain gained national attention as a frontier
humorist, and the bestselling Innocents Abroad solidified his fame.
But it wasn't until Life on the Mississippi (1883), and finally,
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), that he was recognized
by the literary establishment as one of the greatest writers
America would ever produce.
Toward the end of his life, plagued by personal tragedy and
financial failure, Twain grew more and more pessimistic—an outlook
not alleviated by his natural skepticism and sarcasm. Though his
fame continued to widen—Yale & Oxford awarded him honorary
degrees—Twain spent his last years in gloom and exasperation,
writing fables about "the damned human race."

原文赏析：
What an enthusiast he was in cattle! At the bare name of a bull or a cow, his eye would light and his eloquent tongue would turn itselfloose. As long as I would walk and listen, he would walk and talk; heknew all breeds, he loved all breeds, he caressed them all with hisaffectionate tongue. I tramped along in voiceless misery whilst thecattle question was up; when I could endure it no longer, I used todeftly insert a scientific topic into the conversation; then my eyefired and his faded; my tongue fluttered, his stopped; life was a joy tome, and a sadness to him.
One day he said, a little hesitatingly, and with somewhat of diffidence--
'Triangle, would you mind coming down to my stateroom a minute, and havea little talk on a certain matter?'
I went with him at once. Arrived there, he put h...
