About This Item

New York: Charles L. Webster and Company, 1885. 1st Edition. Original cloth. Octavo. 366 pages. Very Good+. Bound in original dark green cloth over boards with spine and upper board stamped in black and gilt. Some rubs and minor fading to cloth covers, a few shallow bumps to board fore corners and spine ends. Hinges not cracked. Housed custom cloth and board folder in half morocco slipcase.. A very nice first edition of one of the most important books in American literature. Hemingway believed that "American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since." This copy has the important issue points at pages (13), 57, and 143. A very handsome copy.

Synopsis

Commonly named among the Great American novels, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, written by Mark Twain, is generally regarded as the sequel to his earlier novel, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; however, in Huckleberry Finn, Twain focused increasingly on the institution of slavery and the South. Narrated by Huckleberry “Huck” Finn in Southern antebellum vernacular, the novel gives vivid descriptions of people and daily life along the Mississippi River while following the adventure of Huck and a runaway slave, Jim, rafting their way to freedom.
