Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

The classic boyhood adventure tale, updated. "All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn." - Ernest Hemingway.

Of all the contenders for the title of the Great American Novel, none has a better claim than Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.  Written against the backdrop of the nation's desire to "light out" and expand into the promised future of the West, the novel stands as a reminder of the difficulty of escaping inherited traditions.

Huck and Jim's voyage portrays a turbulent yet hopeful epoch in American history, defining the experience of a nation in voices often satirical but always authentic.  By turns praised, derided, banned, and celebrated, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is Mark Twain's enduring masterpiece an incomparable adventure story, and a classic work of American humor.  -- R.
