The translations’ paratexts, such as notes, foreword, after -word, flaps and back panel, as well as other texts discussing the translation of the book in newspapers, reviews, and interviews, are analyzed with the intention to show the pathway through which Huckleberry Finn was translated and received by critics and the public in Brazil and how the paratexts construct the image of a Brazilian Mark Twain. The analysis will take into account the transnational approaches proposed by Shelley Fisher Fishkin, as well as the perspective Maria Sílvia Betti suggests for understanding how the Brazilian publishing market has shaped Mark Twain’s image in Brazil. The translations discussed here are by Monteiro Lobato (Companhia Editora Nacional, 1934), José Maria Machado (Clube do Livro, 1961), Sergio Flaksman (Ática, 1996), Maura Sardinha (BestBolso, 2011), 1 Rosaura Eichenberg (L&PM Pocket, 2011), Alda Porto (Claret, 2013), and José Roberto O’Shea (Zahar, 2019). 2 Comparing the changing paratext of the different translations illustrates the transculturation route of Twain’s Huckleberry Finn and the sociocultural web connecting the novel to the Brazilian literary scene. The criterion for the selected translations was based on the increasing number of paratexts included, i.e., the first translations include basic material to familiarize the reader with the author and his work whereas the later editions provide more detailed information. 3 The paratexts of the selected translations, analyzed in detail below, change over time in the way they mediate between reader and author.

M. Stephnyak-Kravchinsky, and Ivan Turgenev; he had even had a Russian son-in-law. 4 Much more importantly, Twain’s works had enjoyed immense popularity in Russia from the moment they had become available in Russian translations. His story, “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County,” was translated into Russian as early as 1872, and The Gilded Age immediately after its publication in America. 5 The first collection of Mark Twain’s works, in eleven volumes, was published in Russia in 1896. A second edition came out in the year of Twain’s death, and a complete collection in twenty-eight volumes appeared in 1911. 6 The prerevolutionary fascination with Twain and the Russian admiration for his satirical talents (he was often compared to Gogol in the press), only intensified after the emergence of the Soviet State, as his critical stance towards the realities of American life, his antiracist position, and his disdain for organized religion, made him extremely palatable to the new socialist government. 7 Between 1918 and the end of 1959, more than 10,926,000 copies of Mark Twain’s books in twenty -five languages were published in the USSR. 8 The Adventures of Tom Sawyer dominated the market with","PeriodicalId":38456,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transnational American Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45155944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Titled Arabic Huck: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in Vernacular Arabic (hereafter Arabic Huck ), it chooses to exclusively employ a colloquial regional dialect spoken in Damascus and the countryside surrounding the Syrian capital. 2 All previous Arabic translations of Twain’s novel, which started to appear in 1958 in Egypt, used Modern Standard Arabic (hereafter MSA) and Classical (Quranic) Arabic. The latter versions of Arabic can be used interchangeably nowadays despite slight and occasionally major differences between them in terms of syntax, spelling, punctuation, and pronunciation. While Classical Arabic originated from medieval dialects of Arabic tribes and was used in writing the Quran, MSA is the most widely used version of Arabic today. MSA is consistently used in all media outlets and publications and understood by all speakers and readers in Arabic-speaking countries. 3","PeriodicalId":38456,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Transnational American Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45244607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
