Introduction by George Saunders Commentary by Thomas Perry Sergeant, Bernard DeVoto, Clifton Fadiman, T.

S. Eliot, and Leo Marx ';All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn,' Ernest Hemingway wrote. ';It's the best book we've had.' A complex masterpiece that spawned controversy right from the start (it was banished from the Concord library shelves in 1885), it is at heart a compelling adventure story.

Huck, in flight from his murderous father, and Jim, in flight from slavery, pilot their raft through treacherous waters, surviving a crash with a steamboat and betrayal by rogues.

As Norman Mailer has said, ';The mark of how good Huckleberry Finn has to be is that one can compare it to a number of our best modern American novels and it stands up page for page.'
