这部小说从思想到技巧都有许多创新 。 小说赞扬了男孩哈克贝利的机智和善良 , 谴责了宗教的虚伪和信徒的愚昧 , 同时 , 塑造了一位富有尊严的黑奴形象 。
This book demonstrates how a young boy learns to think for himself, and shows us how we can, too. It’s funny, sweet and sad – sometimes all in the same paragraph.

Catch 22《第二十二条军规》
by: Joseph Heller 约瑟夫·海勒
小说糅合了海勒参加二战的亲身经历 , 情节荒唐滑稽 , 人物性格反常无理 , 对战争和美国官僚权力制度进行了强烈的讽刺 。
