DESCRIPTION:
Twain's Masterpiece! Sarasota2k4 Enrest Hemingway declared American fiction begins and ends with Huckleberry Finn, and he's correct. Twain's most famous novel is arguably his best. There are several instances in the book that are hilarious, but when I completed the book, I also realized I had read something profound. Although Adventures of Huckleberry Finn contains some very poignant critiques of slavery, discrimination, and society in general, it is also important as the story of Huck's journey from boyhood to manhood. Twain is a master at keeping the story balanced. Original Twain/Rockwell Book I feel so lucky to have found these books (I got the Tom Sawyer companion book, too.). My friend and I went to Hannibal, MO over the Memorial Day weekend. What a treat! That's when I learned about the Twain/Rockwell connection. The gift shop in Hannibal was selling the set in a pristine, brand new binding, etc. for $99. I just couldn't justify the cost. But when I found these books from the original 1936 (or so) printing in these lovely sleeves, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. They are wonderful! And, combined, the two were c. Classic Writing, Fine Illustration; Quality Paper and Printing I bought this particular edition of 'Huckleberry Finn' for the few but wonderful illustrations done by Scott McKowen. I already owned a gallery-sized digital print of the cover art and I wanted to document where it came from.

Both editions have their strong points: the Sterling Classic edition is a convenient bedside format and the text, without scholarly annotations, reads easily--like any 'regular' book. The Norton critical edition
The recent discovery of the first half of Twain's manuscript, long thought lost, made front-page news. . And this unprecedented edition, which contains for the first time omitted episodes and other variations present in the first half of the handwritten manuscript, as well as facsimile reproductions of thirty manuscript pages, is indispensable to a full understanding of the novel. A seminal work of American Literature that still commands deep praise and still elicits controversy, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
When he was nine years old, H. L. He isn't above lying and stealing, but he faces a battle with his conscience when he meets up with a runaway slave named Jim, who provides him with his first experiences of love, acceptance, and a sense of responsibility. The boy's adventures along the Mississippi River provide a framework for a series of moral lessons, revelations of a corrupt society, and contrasts between innocence and hypocrisy. Mencken read Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which he later described as ''the most stupendous event in my life,'' and he determined to become a writer himself.. The colorful cast of characters - including the crafty grifters, the Duke and the King - help make this a memorable classic. *NOTE: The MP3-CD format requires a compatible audio CD player.
