摘要

在19世纪60年代,吐温在弗吉尼亚市、内华达州和旧金山当记者,并与一群美国人一起去欧洲和中东(最著名的是巴勒斯坦)旅行,这使他能够写出畅销书《纯真的海外》。马克·吐温是通过奥利维亚·兰登的兄弟认识她的。他对虔诚的李维的追求促使吐温重新评估他与上帝的关系,以及他对基督教、祈祷和天意的理解,并宣布自己是一名基督徒。在这十年中,吐温与几位牧师建立了友谊,与抑郁症作斗争,并努力确定自己的职业。他还努力接受东方的习俗和传统的伦理实践,把自己重塑成一个能够为家庭提供经济保障和精神指导的基督徒丈夫。学者们争论他的皈依是真实的,还是自欺欺人的,还是为了取悦他未来的妻子和她的父母而捏造的。

The 1860s
During the 1860s, Twain worked as a journalist in Virginia City, Nevada, and San Francisco and traveled to Europe and the Middle East (most notably Palestine) on an excursion with a group of Americans, which enabled him to write his best-selling Innocents Abroad. Twain met Olivia (Livy) Langdon through her brother, a fellow traveler. His courtship of the religiously devout Livy prompted Twain to reassess his relationship with God and his understanding of Christianity, prayer, and Providence and to declare himself to be a Christian. During this decade, Twain developed friendships with several ministers, battled depression, and struggled to determine his vocation. He also strove to adopt Eastern mores and conventional ethical practices and reinvent himself as a Christian husband who could provide financial security and spiritual guidance for his family. Scholars debate whether his conversion was genuine, self-deluded, or fabricated to please his future wife and her parents.
