《远方与往昔》威廉·亨利·哈德逊
Readers who long for bird sanctuaries and decry the desire for smokestacks in cities will resonate with Hudson’s lament over South America. Later on in life, the author became an ornithologist and became friends with novelist Joseph Conrad, but this book is a reflection of his childhood memories of Argentina and the strong lure of nature. Depictions of family life are few, and saved for the last chapters.
长期以来,人们一直渴望一个鸟类保护区并且谴责在城市里吸烟的欲望,这与哈德逊对南美洲的悲叹产生共鸣。在后来的生活里,作者变成一个鸟类保护者并且与小说家约瑟夫·康拉德成为朋友,但是在这本书中他回忆了童年在阿根廷的时光以及大自然对他的强烈诱惑。对家庭生活的描述很少,只保留在最后几章。
8. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》马克·吐温
While Twain’s other classic (Tom Sawyer) is known for the chapter on the joys of fence-painting, Huck Finn is known for his friendship with an escaped slave and enmity with the Widow Douglas who adopts him. Being an enterprising and adventurous soul, Huck manufactures his own death to throw his drunken father off the scent of discovered treasure. While on the run down the Mississippi River, Huck discovers a different sort of life on boats; the work also appealed to Ernest Hemingway and the American public, who ignored initial critical reviews.
