안녕하세요, 저는 Finn입니다. 이 책을 이해할 수 있도록 도와드릴게요.
10살 아이에게 설명하듯 말하면 이렇습니다:
Tom Sawyer는 학교나 교회에 앉아 있는 것보다 낚시하고, 상상 속에서 해적과 싸우고, 보물을 찾는 걸 더 좋아해요. 친구들을 속여 울타리 칠하는 재미를 돈 주고 사게 만들고, 밤에 묘지에서 위험한 일을 목격하고, 동굴에서 길을 잃기도 하지요. 어린 시절의 소리를 최대치로 키운 것 같은 이야기예요.
책 전체는 영어로 읽습니다. 모든 장은 여기 있습니다:
Most of the adventures recorded in this book really occurred; one or two were experiences of my own, the rest those of boys who were schoolmates of mine. Huck Finn is drawn from life; Tom Sawyer also, but not from an individual—he is a combination of the characteristics of three boys whom I knew, and therefore belongs to the composite order of architecture.
The odd superstitions touched upon were all prevalent among children and slaves in the West at the period of this story—that is to say, thirty or forty years ago.
Although my book is intended mainly for the entertainment of boys and girls, I hope it will not be shunned by men and women on that account, for part of my plan has been to try to pleasantly remind adults of what they once were themselves, and of how they felt and thought and talked, and what queer enterprises they sometimes engaged in.
