The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
2 journalers for this copy...
from Amazon.com
A seminal work of American Literature that still commands deep praise and still elicits controversy, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is essential to the understanding of the American soul. The recent discovery of the first half of Twain's manuscript, long thought lost, made front-page news. And this unprecedented edition, which contains for the first time omitted episodes and other variations present in the first half of the handwritten manuscript, as well as facsimile reproductions of thirty manuscript pages, is indispensable to a full understanding of the novel. The changes, deletions, and additions made in the first half of the manuscript indicate that Mark Twain frequently checked his impulse to write an even darker, more confrontational book than the one he finally published.

Oh, what a great package! I looked at it for quite some time, admired the beautiful postmark (with two different dates - the christian and the muslim one) before carefully cutting it open. I'm really looking forward to reading this book! Thank you so much, katayoun, for sending it to me!
