"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is a novel by Mark Twain commonly named among the Great American Novels, the work is among the first in major American literature to be written throughout in vernacular English, characterized by local color regionalism. It is told in the first person by Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, a friend of Tom Sawyer and narrator of two other Twain novels (Tom Sawyer Abroad and Tom Sawyer, Detective). It is a direct sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.The book is noted for its colorful description of people and places along the Mississippi River. Set in a Southern antebellum society that had ceased to exist about 20 years before the work was published, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an often scathing satire on entrenched attitudes, particularly racism.Perennially popular with readers, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has also been the continued object of study by literary critics since its publication. It was criticized upon release because of its coarse language and became even more controversial in the 20th century because of its perceived use of racial stereotypes and because of its frequent use of the racial slur "nigger", despite strong arguments that the protagonist and the tenor of the book are anti-racist.

An issuance of The Heritage Club by The Heritage Press. Theodore Albert Dreiser (1871-1945) was an American novelist and journalist best known for his pioneer work in the naturalist school. Dreiser's first commercial success was An American Tragedy (1925), which was made into a film in 1931 and again in 1951 (as A Place in the Sun). An opera was also commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera in 2005. But An American Tragedy is more than simply a powerful murder story. Dreiser pours his own dark yearnings into his character, as he details the young man's course through his ambitions of wealth, power, and satisfaction. This slip cased edition was illustrated by Reginald Marsh (1989-1954), an American painter, born in Paris, most notable for his depictions of life in New York City in the 1920s and 1930s. Crowded Coney Island beach scenes, popular entertainments such as vaudeville and burlesque, women, and jobless men on the Bowery are subjects that reappear throughout his work. He studied art under Kenneth Hayes Miller, Guy Pene du Bois, George Luks, and William Sergeant Kendall. He studied fresco under Olle Nordmark and he studied sculpture under Mahonri Young. Reginald Marsh rejected modern art, which he found sterile. Marsh's style can best be described as social realism. His figures are generally treated as types. "What interested Marsh was not the individuals in a crowd, but the crowd itself ... In their density and picturesqueness, they recall the crowds in the movies of Preston Sturges or Frank Capra". Marsh's main attractions were the burlesque stage, the hobos on the Bowery, crowds on city streets and at Coney Island, and women. His deep devotion to the old masters led to his creating works of art in a style that reflects certain artistic traditions, and his work often contained religious metaphors. "It was upon the Baroque masters that Marsh based his own human comedy", inspired by the past but residing in the present.

Kirkus Reviews: "In this engrossing novel, KD Kern presents a well-written and absorbing monster tale."When shy seventeen-year-old Riley Borden's abusive stepfather is brutally murdered before her eyes, she bravely tells the authorities exactly who did it: a monster. Not surprisingly the evidence points to her and she's shipped off to a rural Northern California mental institution, leaving her ten-year-old sister in mortal danger at the hands of her deranged aunt. Bedeviled by inmates, emotionally vanquished, Riley becomes convinced that her life is over... but when she awakens to a presence that manifests as the very creature that got her here, with it comes a serendipitous escape and a desperate journey to save her sister—and along the way she learns that the primeval being that calls her soul home may hold a secret more ominous than anything she ever feared.
