Mark Twain
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
eBook
(GoodBook Classics Dec. 23, 2014)
, Reissue edition
Of all the contenders for the title of The Great American Novel, none has a better claim than The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Intended at first as a simple story of a boy's adventures in the Mississippi Valley - a sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer - the book grew and matured under Twain's hand into a work of immeasurable richness and complexity.
Quotes from the book:
“All right, then, I'll go to hell.”
“Just because you’re taught that something’s right and everyone believes it’s right, it don’t make it right.”
“That is just the way with some people. They get down on a thing when they don’t know nothing about it.”
Readers' reviews:
“All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn.” (Ernest Hemingway)
“Hemingway said American fiction begins and ends with Huck Finn, and he's right. Twain's most famous novel is a tour de force.” (Nathan Ellers, goodreads.com)
“Huck's adventures are hugely entertaining. Furthermore, it is an interesting commentary on 19th Century America. Huck's interactions with Jim seem to be subversive of the concept of slavery and highlight the foolishness of white attitudes toward blacks.” (Brandon Nelson, goodreads.com)
