This copy of Huckleberry Finn is brand new being fully intact with a tight spine and no marks on any of the pages. From inside the dust jacket the publisher writes: “Rather than be ‘sivilized by the Widow Douglas, Huckleberry Finn—the grubby, good-natured son of a local drunk—sets odd with Jim, an escaped slave, to find freedom on the Mississippi river. With the law on their tail, they navigate a world of robbers, slave hunters and con men, and Huck must choose what society says is ‘right’ and his own burgeoning understanding of Jim’s friendship and humanity. Nostalgic and melancholy in equal measure, Huckleberry Finn is a razor-sharp satire of the antebellum South, that despite beginning life as a sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, is now seen in its own rights as one of the most important of all American novels. This Macmillan Collector’s Library edition features an afterword by Peter Harness. SAMUEL Langhorne CLEMENS was born in Missouri in 1835. Early in his childhood, the family moved to Hannibal—a town that would provide St. Petersburg in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. When started writing in earnest in his thirties, he adopted the pseudonym Mark Twain, and a string of highly successful publications followed. His later life, however was marked by personal tragedy and sadness, as well as financial difficulty. In 1894 he was declared bankrupt and, over the next fifteen years, he saw the deaths of two of his beloved daughters, and his wife. Twain died in 1910, aged seventy-four.” The Macmillan Collector's Library edition of Huckleberry Finn is beautiful book that will be a beautiful addition to your library.
