Produktbeschreibung

In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck escapes from the clutches of his drunken father 'Pap' and the 'civilizing' guardian Widow Douglas. After faking his own death to get freedom during his travel, Huck encounters Jim, a runaway slave. Together, they get on an exciting journey along the Mississippi River and meet different people. With the passage of time, Huck finds himself in a moral quandary over communal values and his friendship with Jim. Published in 1884 The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was a criticism of racism, class prejudices and identity conflicts. This timeless American novel by Mark Twain is among the first in American literature to be written in regional English. With The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain presents a sharp social commentary on 19th century American life through scornful satire, folksy humour, colloquial speech and uncouth language.

Autorenporträt

Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835 - 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher and lecturer. Among his novels are The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), the latter often called "The Great American Novel". Though Twain earned a great deal of money from his writings and lectures, he invested in ventures that lost a great deal of money, notably the Paige Compositor, a mechanical typesetter, which failed because of its complexity and imprecision. In the wake of these financial setbacks, he filed for protection from his creditors via bankruptcy, and with the help of Henry Huttleston Rogers eventually overcame his financial troubles. Twain chose to pay all his pre-bankruptcy creditors in full, though he had no legal responsibility to do so.
