The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Hilariously picaresque, epic in scope, alive with the poetry and vigor of the American people, Mark Twains story about a young boy and his journey down the Mississippi was the first great novel to speak in a truly American voice. Influencing subsequent generations of writersƒ?? from Sherwood Anderson to Twains fellow Missourian, T.S. Eliot, from Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner to J.D. Salingerƒ??Huckleberry Finn, like the river which flows through its pages, is one of the great sources which nourished and still nourishes the literature of America.
