Beschreibung

Hook: A river journey that brackets childhood and conscience, now restored for modern readers and collectors alike. In Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn, Chapters 26 to 30 (Part 6), Mark Twain's pen probes the uneasy crossroads of freedom, authority, and moral choice. This edition foregrounds the book's enduring power as a satirical adventure fiction set against a vivid antebellum american backdrop and the Mississippi river's shifting currents. Readers encounter a coming-of-age voyage that blends regionalist textures, sharp social observation, and a clear, humane voice that questions power, loyalty, and conscience without losing its storytelling momentum. The book's value lies in its masterful melding of form and theme: the road-novel energy of a boy's improvised ethics, the seedbed of american realism that shaped later golden age american writers, and a sustained inquiry into how civilisation and personal freedom clash on every bend of the river. It's a work that rewards both casual readers and classic-literature collectors with its punchy humour, astute social critique, and timeless questions about growing up and making hard choices. This edition recognises the text's historical significance, while restoring clarity, nuance, and texture for today's classrooms, homeschool reading guides, and study groups. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this is more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, preserved for today's and future generations.

Autor

Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 - April 21, 1910),[1] known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer. He was lauded as the "greatest humorist this country has produced",[2] and William Faulkner called him "the father of American literature".[3] His novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884),[4] the latter often called "The Great American Novel". Twain was raised in Hannibal, Missouri, which later provided the setting for Tom SaOrion Clemens. He later became a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River before heading west to join Orion in Nevada. He referred humorously to his lack of success at mining, turning to journalism for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise.[5] His humorous story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County", was published in 1865, based on a story that he heard at Angels Hotel in Angels Camp, California, where he had spent some time as a miner. The short story brought international attention and was even translated into French.[6] His wit and satire, in prose and in speech, earned praise from critics and peers, and he was a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists, and European royalty. Twain earned a great deal of money from his writings and lectures, but he invested in ventures that lost most of it-such as the Paige Compositor, a mechanical typesetter that failed because of its complexity and imprecision. He filed for bankruptcy in the wake of these financial setbacks, but he eventually overcame his financial troubles with the help of Henry Huttleston Rogers. He eventually paid all his creditors in full, even though his bankruptcy relieved him of having to do so. Twain was born shortly after an appearance of Halley's Comet, and he predicted that he would "go out with it" as well; he died the day after the comet returned. wyer and Huckleberry Finn. He served an apprenticeship with a printer and then worked as a typesetter, contributing articles to the newspaper of his older brother.
