"Penguin" has the best reputation for academic excellence in publishing This is the best copy of this classic that you will find available for pleasure reading and studying purposes. The forward fills the reader in on some of what post Civil War writing was striving toward, Realism in short. Pre Civil War writing was considered Romantic in style. There is so much to be learned and appreciated about Samuel Clemens as he wrote in his time. His wit and wisdom are as modern, as they are irreverent. This is the book to get you reacquainted with America's Genius in an exciting way that only makes you want to know more about the man, his writing, the era he lived in, other writers of the time, and the effect of the Civil War on people everywhere in America. One of the most compelling examples of the mix of styles that make this book remarkable is the fact that a boy and run-away slave on a "house" raft on the Mississippi River, are completely out of time, reality, and place. Yet, the book has always been considered in the Realism style. Enough said? This book is a "gas" on any level of appreciation! Read this copy of "Huckleberry Finn", and no other. (Unless it's another adult "Penguin Publisher" edition.)Read full review
