The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Summary
The idealized childhood of this fictional hero, based on Mark Twain's own early life along the banks of the Mississippi, is filled with robust good humor and high-spirited adventures. Yet there is also an in-depth experience of the central South of the 1840s - its dialects, superstitions, and social values. While romping through fun-filled fantasy, Tom Sawyer shows how morally complicated real life can be. In his unabridged reading of the American classic, actor Patrick Fraley crafts 36 authentic "voices" to represent the wide range of Twain's delightful characters.

Le avventure di Huckleberry Finn
Summary
La storia di Huck e della sua fuga in zattera lungo il Mississippi con il negro Jim, fino al ricongiungimento col compagno di scorrerie Tom Sawyer nel romanzo che nacque come proseguimento del precedente "Le avventure di Tom Sawyer" era tra le preferite di Ernest Hemingway, che citava sempre Mark Twain tra i suoi autori fondamentali: e non a caso, naturalmente, visto che fin dai suoi esordi anche l'autore di "Fiesta" lavorò molto duramente per riuscire a ricreare sulla pagina la lingua della strada, cosa per cui venne assai criticato. Molti, tra cui Joyce Carol Oates, considerano "Le avventure di Huckleberry Finn" "Il Grande Romanzo Americano". Altri, come Thomas Stearns Eliot, lo considerano l'unico vero capolavoro di Mark Twain. Di sicuro "Le avventure di Huckleberry Finn" è un romanzo-mondo, scritto superbamente, e divertentissimo. Huck Finn, in quanto ribelle adolescente refrattario a qualsiasi forma di autorità e di imposizione, sta all'origine di Holden Caulfield e di tutti i ribelli adolescenti della letteratura nordamericana. E il fiume Mississippi, che Twain conobbe a fondo in gioventù per averci lavorato come pilota su un battello, è al tempo stesso uno dei protagonisti principali del racconto e una metafora. Ma la storia di Huck Finn e del suo lungo viaggio, al termine del quale l'ormai ex ragazzino verrà a sapere della morte del padre e però subito progetterà di ripartire con i suoi compagni d'avventura (questa volta per i territori indiani) è anche una grande satira sulla democrazia americana e sugli americani, in genere timorati di Dio ma sempre felici di impiccare un negro (e quando si parla di leggi razziali bisognerebbe ricordarsi ogni volta di aggiungere che gli Stati Uniti d'America hanno mantenuto le loro fino alla seconda metà del Novecento). (Dall'introduzione di Giuseppe Culicchia)

Ich besteige den Riffelberg
Summary
Der aus Amerika stammende Schriftsteller Mark Twain (1835-1910) bereiste Europa ausführlich und mehrfach. Mit scharfem Blick nahm er dabei nicht nur die Eigenheiten der deutschen Sprache ins Visier (nachzulesen im Essay "The Awful German Language"), sondern auch die Begeisterung seiner Zeitgenossen für Alpenbesteigungen. Insbesondere die Berichte des Briten Edward Whymper über seine Erstbesteigung des Matterhorns (1865 von Zermatt aus) hatten es dem Schriftsteller so angetan, dass er beschloss: "Ich will den Riffelberg besteigen!"

The Greatest Christian Stories Ever Written
Summary
This a handpicked collection of some of the greatest Christian stories ever written. Many were written by the most celebrated authors of all time - such as Leo Tolstoy, Mary Twain, and Johanna Spyri. When we speak of these works as Christian stories, we mean that each story has a powerful Christian message based on Jesus' teachings. Three of the stories are from Jesus himself. Others were written by devout believers like Henry Van Dyke and Johanna Spyri. Yet, one of the authors, Mark Twain, was not a Christian himself. Leo Tolstoy radically embraced the teachings of Jesus, but he struggled most of his life with orthodox Christian doctrines. Yet, the stories included herein from both Twain and Tolstoy reveal profound insights into the teachings of Christ. Among the unabridged works contained in this compilation are: "The Other Wise Man" by Henry Van Dyke "Moni, the Goat Boy" by Johanna Spyri "How Much Land Does a Man Need?" by Leo Tolstoy "The Silver Mine" by Selma Lagerlof "The War Prayer" by Mark Twain "Where Love Is, God Is" by Leo Tolstoy "The Little Hero of Holland" by Mary Mapes Dodge "Androcles and the Lion" (Traditional) "A Spark Neglected Burns the House" by Leo Tolstoy

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
Summary
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court tells the story of Hank Morgan, a 19th-century American - a Connecticut Yankee - who, after a blow to the head, awakens to find himself inexplicably transported back in time to early medieval England at the time of the legendary King Arthur. The story begins in Warwick Castle, where a man details his recollection of a tale told to by a "curious stranger" who is personified as a knight through his simple language and familiarity with ancient armor. After a brief tale of Sir Lancelot of Camelot and his role in slaying two giants from the third-person narrative, the man named Hank Morgan enters and, after being given whiskey by the narrator, he is persuaded to reveal more of his story.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Summary
One of the greatest treats in all world literature, this masterpiece from Mark Twain is revolutionary. It offers both brilliant humor and tragedy as Huck and Jim explore moral dilemmas of slavery and freedom. Huck, the narrator, is shrewd, ingenious, and literal--he reports on everything he sees, which allows the listener to experience the hypocrisy of "sivilization." This superb reading by Patrick Fraley is rich in the color and adventurous spirit of the Mississippi River. It captures the world and people that Mark Twain knew and loved.

El Principe y el Mendigo [The Prince and the Pauper]
Summary
Una novela sobre hipocresia social e injusticia. El incredible parecido entre el heredero de la corona inglesa y un mendigo, permite que por un azar del destino, al encontrarse los ninos de dos mundos tan opuestos, el principe pueda cumplir con su deseo de ver como vive y sufre la otra mitad, mientras que el mendigo se ve inesperadamente envuelto en las intrigas palaciegas. Esta es la base del apasionante relato de Mark Twain, llevado en varias oportunidades al cine y que es una novela que en el fondo es un ataque a la hipocresia social y la injusticia, llena de episodios de aventuras que se suceden el uno al otro, todo con la maestria del autor, quien quiso mostrar que era capaz de escribir sobre temas diferentes de los del pueblo americano y logro asi un increible relato, que tiene suspenso, ternura y un acertado retrato de una epoca tempestuosa dentro del imperio britanico.

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
Summary
The hit on the head that sends Hank Morgan back through 13 centuries does not affect his natural resourcefulness. Using his knowledge of an upcoming eclipse, Hank escapes a death sentence, and secures an important position at court. Gradually, he introduces 19th century technology and soon has an easy life. He becomes "The Boss" of the Kingdom, second only to the King. That does not stop him from making a disparaging remark which touches off an incredible series of events. Twain weaves many of the well-known Arthurian characters into his story, and includes a pitched battle between Morgan's men and the nobility. This is Mark Twain at his best.
