Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

by

Mark Twain

Huckleberry Finn is a great work of American Literature that still commands deep praise and still elicits controversy.

In this work we see Mark Twain as a writer with a new-perfect ear for the right word and the right shading of idiom as he maneuvers between his purpose as an artist and the diplomatic or expedient concessions he sometimes felt he had to make to the conventional taste of his audience and the demands of the book business.

More truly with Huckleberry Finn than with any other book Twain captured the spirit of America.
