The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

From The Publisher:
                    Hilariously picaresque, epic in scope, alive with the poetry and vigor of the American people, Mark
                    Twain's story about a young boy and his journey down the Mississippi was the first great novel to
                    speak in a truly American voice. Influencing subsequent generations of writers -- from Sherwood
                    Anderson to Twain's fellow Missourian, T.S. Eliot, from Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner to
                    J.D. Salinger -- Huckleberry Finn, like the river which flows through its pages, is one of the great
                    sources which nourished and still nourishes the literature of America
