Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In recent years, despite persistent efforts to "clean up" the racial epithets in Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, neither its enduring cultural presence nor its consistent use in the classroom has diminished, demonstrating the wide-ranging influence of the novel's themes and its continuing importance in American society. Written against the backdrop of the nation's own desire to "light out" and expand into the promised future of the West, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn stands as a reminder of the difficulty of escaping inherited traditions. It is a vignette of a turbulent, yet hopeful epoch in American history, defining the experience of a nation in voices often satirical, but always authentic. With critical debate over the symbolic significance of Huck and Jim's voyage still fresh, Twain's novel remains a major work that can be enjoyed on many levels- as an incomparable adventure story and as a classic of American humor.This edition features a new introduction and notes by leading Mark Twain scholar R.
