The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Hilariously picaresque, eipic 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 voic. 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 souces which nourished and still nourishes the literature af America.
