王子与贫儿

ebook

The Prince and the Pauper begins with Tom Canty, an impoverished boy living with his abusive family in London. One day Tom Canty and Edward VI of England Prince Edward, the son of King Henry VIII and Jane Seymour meet and as a jest, switch clothes. While dressed in the pauper's rags, the Prince leaves the palace to punish the guard who knocked Tom down. However, the boys look remarkably alike and because they switch clothes, the palace guards throw the prince out into the street. The Prince fares poorly in London because he insists on proclaiming his identity as the true Prince of Wales. Meanwhile despite Tom's repeated denial of his birthright, the court and the King insist that he is the true prince gone mad. Edward eventually runs into Tom's family and a gang of thieves and Twain illustrates England's unfair and barbaric justice system. After the death of Henry VIII, Edward interrupts Tom's coronation and the boys explain, switch places, and Edward is crowned King of England.

在美国作家马克·吐温的代表作《王子与贫儿》中,英国王子爱德华·都铎和贫儿汤姆·坎蒂阴差阳错地互换了身份,并各自经历了一段精彩刺激的冒险历程。穷苦的贫儿成了王子,还当上了国王,在数不尽的荣华富贵中渐渐迷失;而高贵的王子沦为乞丐,体会到了民间的疾苦,回到皇宫后成了最为仁慈的国王。作者用丰富的想象力和幽默风趣的语言生动地展现了宫廷和底层社会的天壤之别,又在令人失望的现实中加入种种温情的片段,成功突出了人世间的真、善、美。
