The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Twain, Mark

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 -- 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.Author: Mark TwainPublisher: Bantam ClassicsPublished: 02/01/1981Pages: 320Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.35lbsSize: 6.80h x 4.20w x 0.70dISBN: 9780553210798Age Range: 10-14Review Citation(s): Booklist 10/01/1993 pg. 335About the AuthorThe Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century.
