The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an epic of boyhood. In it the author describes the adventures of a boy comrade of Tom Sawyer in a voyage down the great Mississippi on a raft. Huck stands out among Mark Twain's boy characters, he is the central figure of these episodes, which bring out his shrewdness, his humor, and his struggling conscience. It is a story faithful in the rendering of Southern dialects, and a good example of Twain's best work. This edition is printed in specially-designed large type for easier reading, and is printed on non-glare paper.

Autorenporträt
Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835 - 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher and lecturer. Among his novels are The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), the latter often called "The Great American Novel". Though Twain earned a great deal of money from his writings and lectures, he invested in ventures that lost a great deal of money, notably the Paige Compositor, a mechanical typesetter, which failed because of its complexity and imprecision. In the wake of these financial setbacks, he filed for protection from his creditors via bankruptcy, and with the help of Henry Huttleston Rogers eventually overcame his financial troubles. Twain chose to pay all his pre-bankruptcy creditors in full, though he had no legal responsibility to do so.

Kindliches Lesevergnügen
Während es von vielen Jugendbuch-Klassikern nur noch verkürzte und versimpelte Ausgaben gibt, haben sich nun Insel-Verlag und vor kurzem auch dtv an die Neuauflage von Mark Twains „Huckleberry Finns Abenteuer” gemacht, in jeweils neuer Übersetzung und unter Beibehaltung der gesellschaftskritischen Passagen und ironischen Formulierungen, selbst wenn sie nur von Erwachsenen verstanden werden. Diese erwartet das Vergnügen, ein kindliches Leseerlebnis zu wiederholen und sich klar zu werden, mit wie wenig Personal und schlichter Ausstattung man einen phantasievollen Plot entwickeln kann. Lore Krüger hat für dtv noch eigene, unnötige Kapitelüberschriften ergänzt, Friedhelm Rathjen blieb bei Insel näher am Original, was andererseits oft zu etwas knorrigen Formulierungen führt, ergänzte dafür aber sehr hilfreiche Anmerkungen. mau
