Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Hilariously picaresque epic in scope alive with the poetry and vigor of the American people Mark Twain's 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 writers -- from Sherwood Anderson to Twain's fellow Missourian T.S. Eliot from Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner to J.D. Salinger -- <i>Huckleberry Finn</i> like the river which flows through its pages is one of the great sources which nourished and still nourishes the literature of America.
