The adventures of Huckleberry Finn ( Editura: Transatlantic Press, Autor: Mark Twain ISBN 9781908533128 )

Huckleberry Finn would rather run wild than yield to his guardian Widow Douglas ' s attempts to ''sivilize'' him. Kidnapped by his no-good drunkard father, Huck manages to escape by faking his own death. While hiding out he meets runaway slave Jim, and the two absconders, bound the Mississippi on a makeshift raft, where an assortment of rouges and scoundrels lie in wait. Rough-hewn Huck narrates his own adventure-filled story, in wich the treatment of outcasts serves as a touchstone for the values of mainstream American society. It outraged some when it first appeared, and still incites controversy;but most endorse Hemingway ' s view ''All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn... There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since''.
