The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn
2 journalers for this copy...
Of all the contenders for the title of The Great American Novel, none has a better claim than The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. This idyll, intended at first as "a kind of companion to Tom Sawyer", grew and matured under Mark Twain's hand into a work of immeasurable richness and complexity. Critics have argued over the symbolic significance of Huck's and Jim's voyage down the Mississippi: none has disputed the greatness of the book itself. It remains a work that can be enjoyed at many levels: as an incomparable adventure story, as a classic of American humour, and as a metaphor for the American predicament.
One of the 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die.
This is a Pocket Classic edition - with illustrations and a comprehensive Reader’s Supplement.
Lots of (far-fetched) adventures, both on and off the river, were to be had by all. Tom Sawyer's behaviour was unconscionable though, and left a sour taste at the end.
