El Principe y el Mendigo

Sur le bateau qui descend le Mississipi, Tom Sawyer et son ami Huck Finn font la connaissance d'un étrange individu qui passe ses journées cloîtré dans sa cabine... et refuse de se déchausser ! Les deux héros mènent l'enquête.

Tom Sawyer détective (Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn, #4)

L'auteur des Aventures de Tom Sawyer reprend la controverse autour de la paternité des pièces de Shakespeare. Le véritable auteur en serait l'érudit Francis Bacon (1561-1626). Son principal argument repose sur les connaissances juridiques de Shakespeare : comment un jeune homme d'origine modeste, contraint de quitter l'école dès l'âge de 14 ans, a-t-il pu se forger une connaissance approfondie du droit, de ses procédures et de son langage technique ?

Et comment un auteur de pièces populaires dès son vivant a-t-il pu mourir de façon quasi anonyme dans son village d'origine, Stratford-upon-Avon ? Au-delà de la controverse, Shakespeare or not Shakespare est un véritable exercice de style : Mark Twain mêle habilement humour et polémique dans la continuité de la tradition satirique. Il s'amuse à rendre ridicules les admirateurs de Shakespeare, surnommés les « Stratfordolâtres », incapables de recul critique envers leur idole.

Cet essai de Mark Twain n'avait encore jamais été traduit en langue française. Auteur de Henry David Thoreau, Le Célibataire de la nature (Fayard), Thierry Gillyboeuf est le traducteur du Journal d'Henry David Thoreau (Finitude), ainsi que de livres de Rudyard Kipling et Herman Melville.

Shakespeare or not Shakespeare

This is the COMPLETE EDITION of the original Letters From the Earth!  Mark Twain considered this story was too controversial for publication and would never be published. He wrote that observation to a friend in 1909. This gem of a story has been freed from the murky shadows of censorship and restored to it's rightful place in American literature. All of it is vintage Twain, sharp, witty, imaginative, and sometimes wildly funny. This edition includes Mark Twain's 3 footnotes  If you purchased this book prior to March 8th 2009 please re-download to your Kindle to get the this COMPLETE EDITION.
