The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Bantam Classics) [Mass Market Paperback]

Hilariously picaresque, epic 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 voice. 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 that flows through its pages, is one of the great sources that nourished and still nourish the literature of America.
