Produktbeschreibung
"All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn," Ernest Hemingway wrote, "It's the best book we've had." A complex masterpiece that has spawned volumes of scholarly exegesis and interpretative theories, it is at heart a compelling adventure story. Huck, in flight from his murderous father, and Nigger Jim, in flight from slavery, pilot their raft thrillingly through treacherous waters, surviving a crash with a steamboat, betrayal by rogues, and the final threat from the bourgeoisie. Informing all this is the presence of the River, described in palpable detail by Mark Twain, the former steamboat pilot, who transforms it into a richly metaphoric entity. Twain's other great innovation was the language of the book itself, which is expressive in a completely original way. "The invention of this language, with all its implications, gave a new dimension to our literature," Robert Penn Warren noted. "It is a language capable of poetry."

Autorenporträt
The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foundation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with affordable hardbound editions of important works of literature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoring as its emblem the running torch-bearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well as inaugurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices.

Kindliches Lesevergnügen
Während es von vielen Jugendbuch-Klassikern nur noch verkürzte und versimpelte Ausgaben gibt, haben sich nun Insel-Verlag und vor kurzem auch dtv an die Neuauflage von Mark Twains „Huckleberry Finns Abenteuer” gemacht, in jeweils neuer Übersetzung und unter Beibehaltung der gesellschaftskritischen Passagen und ironischen Formulierungen, selbst wenn sie nur von Erwachsenen verstanden werden. Diese erwartet das Vergnügen, ein kindliches Leseerlebnis zu wiederholen und sich klar zu werden, mit wie wenig Personal und schlichter Ausstattung man einen phantasievollen Plot entwickeln kann. Lore Krüger hat für dtv noch eigene, unnötige Kapitelüberschriften ergänzt, Friedhelm Rathjen blieb bei Insel näher am Original, was andererseits oft zu etwas knorrigen Formulierungen führt, ergänzte dafür aber sehr hilfreiche Anmerkungen. mau
