eBooks di Mark Twain editi da Caiman

Mark Twain  pseudonimo di Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835 - 1910) è uno dei più importanti autori della letteratura nordamericana. Il suo nome deriva da un’espressione in uso all’epoca sui battelli del Mississipi (“Marca due” riferito alla profondità del fiume). La sua narrativa popolare nello stile e nei contenuti il senso dell’humor unito all’ironia graffiante e alla vena anti-imperialista ne fanno tuttora uno degli autori più amati e un classico della letteratura mondiale. Celebre il giudizio di Ernst Hemingway: “Tutta la letteratura moderna statunitense viene da un libro di Mark Twain  Huckleberry Finn”.

I THE RIDGE TRAIL Six trails lead to the main ridge. They are all good trails, so that even the casual tourist in the little Spanish-American town on the seacoast need have nothing to fear from the ascent. In some spots they contract to an arm's length of space, outside of which limit they drop sheer away; elsewhere they stand up on end, zigzag in lacets each more hair-raising than the last, or fill to demoralization with loose boulders and shale. A fall on the part of your horse would mean a more than serious accident; but Western horses do not fall. The major premise stands: even the casual tourist has no real reason for fear, however scared he may become. Our favorite route to the main ridge was by a way called the Cold Spring Trail. We used to enjoy taking visitors up it, mainly because you come on the top suddenly, without warning. Then we collected remarks. Everybody, even the most stolid, said something.
