The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

«Cette maudite race humaine» regroupe cinq textes d'un recueil de courts essais de Mark Twain, écrits à la fin de sa vie, publiés de manière posthume en anglais et encore jamais traduits en français. Tendre satire sur « le complexe de supériorité » de l'homme, cette volée de flèches désopilante sur la tendance anthropo-centrée de l'homme, révèle - s'il en était encore besoin - la causticité irrévérencieuse de cet auteur culte. Avec une préface de Nancy Huston.

Cette maudite race humaine

L'insolence de Mark Twain (1835-1910) c'est celle de la jeunesse. Jeunesse d'une nation, jeunesse d'une langue qu'il aide à forger, jeunesse d'une culture qui conquiert son indépendance. Ce recueil, composé des textes « Comment raconter une histoire drôle », « Le moment crucial de ma vie », les « Journaux d'Adam » et « d'Ève », témoigne de l'expérience d'écriture de Twain avec toute son intelligence et son humour si caractéristique. L'auteur y dépeint ce monde de l'enfance où la langue s'invente et où Twain devient Twain. Ces textes courts, d'un humour mordant, forment une introduction originale à l'ouvre de Mark Twain et tracent le portrait d'une Amérique en train de naître où tout est encore possible.
