"Если тебе повезло и ты в молодости жил в Париже, то, где бы ты ни был потом, он до конца дней твоих останется с тобой, потому что Париж - это праздник, который всегда с тобой", - написал Эрнест Хемингуэй в 1950-м году в письме другу. В начале творческого пути мемуарный жанр не слишком привлекал писателя, однако спустя годы он признает, что люди легендарной судьбы обычно кончают тем, что садятся за мемуары. В 1954 году, попав в авиакатастрофу и прочитав потом о себе некрологи в ряде газет, он приходит к выводу, что "самый сложный предмет... - это человеческая жизнь" и что пора писать мемуары. Приехав как-то в Париж, он неожиданно нашел собственные записки, вырезки из газет и прочие материалы - две коробки, которые забыл в подвале парижского "Рица" в далеком 1928 году. Он работал над книгой с осени 1957 года до весны 1960-го. Текст остался в архиве писателя. Его вдова Мери Хемингуэй отредактировала "Праздник..." и подготовила книгу к печати. В предлагаемой вниманию читателей книге приводится полный неадаптированный текст парижских мемуаров Хемингуэя, снабженный подробными комментариями и словарем. Комментарии и словарь Е.Г. Тигонен.

Qual e il segreto dell'infanzia? E perche, una volta che e passata, siamo disposti piu a rimpiangerla che a capirla? Tom Sawyer, il protagonista del capolavoro di Mark Twain, e un ragazzo che conosce questo segreto, e percio la vita per lui e come una fontana sempre viva e zampillante. Non cede alla noia, rifiuta la logica repressiva della realta costruita dagli adulti, disegna un cerchio magico in cui invita il lettore a entrare. Non ha fretta di crescere, e si muove giocando nel tempo eterno dell'immaginazione creativa. Eroe di vicende che conducono al successo e alla fama, Tom Sawyer e insieme una metafora dell'America della frontiera, l'America selvaggia dei coloni e degli avventurieri, degli sterminati spazi e delle grandi opportunita. "Le avventure di Tom Sawyer" e un classico che conserva tutta la sua freschezza, opera dello scrittore non a caso salutato da Ernest Hemingway come l'iniziatore dell'autentica letteratura americana. Introduzione di Sergio Campailla.
