Zhrnutie knihy

Mark Twain, bystrý pozorovateľ, rozpráva o svojej skúsenosti kormidelníka parníka na Mississippi a mieša osobné spomienky s opismi rieky. Sleduje vývin tejto cesty, životne dôležitej pre obchod i americký život. Cez príhody a portréty oživuje meniaci sa svet. Rieka sa stáva ústrednou postavou, zároveň pútavou a nevyspytateľnou. Rozprávanie spája humor, clivotu a rozbor a ponúka živý ponor do zaniknutej doby. Autor presne zachytáva ducha kraja a jeho ľudí.

O rio e sua história

The River and Its History

VALE muito a pena ler sobre o Mississippi.

THE Mississippi is well worth reading about.

Não é um rio comum,

It is not a commonplace river,

mas, ao contrário, notável em todos os aspectos.

but on the contrary is in all ways remarkable.

Considerando o Missouri seu braço principal,

Considering the Missouri its main branch,

é o rio mais longo do mundo —

it is the longest river in the world —

quatro mil e trezentas milhas.

four thousand three hundred miles.

Parece seguro dizer que é também o rio mais sinuoso do mundo,

It seems safe to say that it is also the crookedest river in the world,

já que em um trecho de seu percurso consome mil e trezentas milhas para cobrir o mesmo terreno que um corvo sobrevoaria em seiscentas e setenta e cinco.

since in one part of its journey it uses up one thousand three hundred miles to cover the same ground that the crow would fly over in six hundred and seventy-five.

Despeja três vezes mais água que o São

It discharges three times as much water as the St.

Lourenço,

Lawrence,

vinte e cinco vezes mais que o Reno

twenty-five times as much as the Rhine,

e trezentas e trinta e oito vezes mais que o Tâmisa.

and three hundred and thirty-eight times as much as the Thames.

Nenhum outro rio tem uma bacia tão vasta:

No other river has so vast a drainage-basin:

ele recolhe suas águas de vinte e oito estados e territórios;

it draws its water supply from twenty-eight States and Territories;

desde Delaware,

from Delaware,

na costa atlântica,

on the Atlantic seaboard,

e de todo o território entre ele e Idaho, na vertente do Pacífico —

and from all the country between that and Idaho on the Pacific slope —

uma extensão de quarenta e cinco graus de longitude.

a spread of forty-five degrees of longitude.

O Mississippi recebe e leva até o Golfo as águas de cinquenta e quatro rios afluentes navegáveis por barcos a vapor,

The Mississippi receives and carries to the Gulf water from fifty-four subordinate rivers that are navigable by steamboats,

e de algumas centenas navegáveis por chatas e barcaças.

and from some hundreds that are navigable by flats and keels.

A área de sua bacia é tão grande quanto as áreas somadas da Inglaterra,

The area of its drainage-basin is as great as the combined areas of England,

do País de Gales,

Wales,

da Escócia,

Scotland,

da Irlanda,

Ireland,

da França,

France,

da Espanha,

Spain,

de Portugal,

Portugal,

da Alemanha,

Germany,

da Áustria,

Austria,

da Itália

Italy,

e da Turquia;

and Turkey;

e quase toda essa vasta região é fértil;

and almost all this wide region is fertile;

o vale do Mississippi

the Mississippi valley,

propriamente dito

proper,

é excepcionalmente fértil.

is exceptionally so.

Dej

Learning a vast river by heart. In a village on the Mississippi, every boy dreams of working on the steamboats. The finest job of all is to be the pilot.

Svet knihy

The river of the steamboats. Around 1850, the Mississippi is the great highway of the United States. Big steamboats known as “floating palaces” carry passengers, cotton and goods along it.

Autor

The old pilot comes back to his river. As a young man, Mark Twain is a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi. Then he heads to the American West, works in the mines and becomes a writer. In 1882, he returns to his river…
