马克·吐温是美国文学史上最杰出和最受读者欢迎的小说家之一。他的第一部长篇小说《镀金时代》生动细致地刻画了19世纪70年代初期的美国社会和政治情形,展现了当时繁荣喧嚣的表象下隐藏的种种荒唐怪诞的社会景象。马克·吐温以其细致入微的叙述和辛辣幽默的笔调描绘出了这个金玉其外、败絮其中的“镀金时代”中的众生相,使得这部小说既像是一出逗人发笑的滑稽剧,更像是一部永不过时的警世恒言。
Mark Twain is one of the most prominent and most popular novelists in the history of American literature. His first novel, the Gilded Age, vividly and carefully depicts the social and political conditions of the United States in the early 1870s and shows all kinds of ridiculous and grotesque social scenes hidden under the noisy atmosphere of that time. Mark Twain, with its meticulous narration and his spicy humor, depict the beings in this golden age and the “Gilded Age,” making the novel both a funny and funny Drama, more like a never-ending police constant.
