''Perhaps the best-loved nineteenth-century American novel, Mark Twain?s tale of boyhood adventure overflows with comedy, warmth, and slapstick energy. It brings to life and array of irresistible characters?the awesomely self-confident Tom, his best buddy Huck Finn, indulgent Aunt Polly, and the lovely, beguiling Becky?as well as suchunforgettable incidents as whitewashing a fence, swearing an oath in blood, and getting lost in a dark and labyrinthine cave. Below Tom Sawyer?s sunny surface lurk hints of a darker reality, of youthful innocence and na?vet? confronting the cruelty, hypocrisy, and foolishness of the adult world?a theme that would become more pronounced in Twain?s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Despite such suggestions, Tom Sawyer remains Twain?s joyful ode to the endless possibilities of childhood. ''

0486280616 Revered by all of the town's children and dreaded by all of its mothers, Huckleberry Finn is indisputably the most appealing child-hero in American literature. Unlike the tall-tale, idyllic world of Tom Sawyer, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is firmly grounded in early reality. From the abusive drunkard who serves as Huckleberry's father, to Huck's first tentative grappling with issues of personal liberty and the unknown, Huckleberry Finn endeavors to delve quite a bit deeper into the complexities-both joyful and tragic of life.
