Two years later, he changed the name to Tom, and began shaping his adventures into a stage play. Not until 1874 did the story begin developing in ear nest. After publication in 1876, Tom Sawyer quickly became a classic tale of American boyhood.

The moralizing of his earlier writing had been well padded with humor. Now the gloves came off with biting satire. He pretended to praise the U. S. military for the massacre of 600 Philippine Moros in the bowl of a volcanic, crater. In The Mysterious Stranger, he insisted that man drop his religious illusions and depend upon himself, not Providence, to make a better world. 這位曾令全世界歡笑的人自己卻飽嘗了人世的辛酸。他同一個(gè)逃跑出來(lái)的奴隸一起乘坐木筏沿著密西西比河順流而下的漂流航程展現(xiàn)了一幅幅揭示美國(guó)社會(huì)生活全貌的生動(dòng)畫(huà)面。 she gits up by a bell – everything39。Mark Twain39。他一回到美國(guó)，他的旅行雜記《傻子出國(guó)旅行記》立即成為暢銷書(shū)。s development.
