It is the best book we have. . .
Hemingway concludes All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn .
Twain\'s tradeMark humor and observations of human nature are never far.
The plot combines adventure, suspense and mischief with the darker side of humanity: murder, deceit, brutality and racial prejudice.
The shadings have not been done in a haphazard fashion, or by guesswork; but painstakingly, and with the trustworthy guidance and support of personal familiarity with these several forms of speech.
Twain explains, In this book a number of dialects are used, to wit: the Missouri negro dialect; the extremest form of the backwoods Southwestern dialect; the ordinary \'Pike County\' dialect; and four modified varieties of this last.
The dialog faithfully reproduces the common speech of his day.
What makes these two books classics? Twain\'s characters are surprising, unforgettable and truly human.
Together they engage with their world in this classic coming of age story.
Huck Finn is more superstitious and na ve, but still an adventurous survivor.
He is an immediately attractive character who draws the reader through his adventures.
