Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:
Zu Unrecht anfänglich als Jugendbuch aufgefasst, ist "Tom Sawyer" mit seiner episodischen Reihung von heiter-unterhaltsamen Abenteuern Mark Twains nostalgische Hommage an seine eigene Jugend am Mississippi. Da ist Tante Polly, Tom Sawyers Ziehmutter, und sein strebsamer Halbbruder Sid. Da ist die Witwe Douglas, die Huck Manieren beizubringen versucht, da sind Richter Thatcher und seine hübsche Tochter Becky, Toms erste Liebe. Lauter brave, gute Menschen und eine Handvoll Gauner und Ganoven.
Dieser Roman wird zu den Schlüsselwerken der amerikanischen Literatur gerechnet.

Great Bedtime Reader
All of the Illustrated Chosen Classics are great bedtime readers. My wife sits in the hall of the children's bedrooms and reads these stories to them at bedtime. The difference between these books and the traditional novels is that these stories move very fast. My son, in particular, will hear one of these abridged classic novels and, if he likes it, will then read the full unabridged version on his own. Kind of gives our kids a taste of the classics without having to start reading a really large and sometimes overwhelming looking book. My son is 10 and my daughter is 15. We have about 30 of these types of books in our library.
A Classic Still
Like many people of my age (62), I read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as a child because at that time it was widely perceived to be a child's or young adult's book. This is unfortunate as it is not nor has it ever been directed at the young. In my rereading I discovered for the first time why it is still called the original great American novel. Huckleberry, like Twain, is opinionated and perceptive. His narration and point of view drive the novel forward. Rather than relegate this work to the children's shelves or castigate it as racist, folks should embrace this novel for what it is, a bildungsroman that shows the growth of a country as well as the growth of its young protagonist.
It captivated a classroom full of surly teens
I teach English, and the junior year in North Carolina is devoted to American literature. I approached Huck Finn with no small amount of trepidation because of Twain's use of vernacular. I ran into the same problem with "Their Eyes Were Watching God" and solved that by listening to Ruby Dee's audio recording, which students loved. I purchased this recording of Huck Finn, and it was to die for fabulous. Students read along in their books as we listened to the recording, and it helped bring the characters and the story alive for them. They laughed when I hoped they would laugh, and they understood the novel so much better by being able to listen to it. This recording was invaluable.
Reading this book as an adult is a whole different ...
Reading this book as an adult is a whole different experience. I'm fairly sure the versions I read as a child were watered down. I don't have any memory of murder and mayhem in the versions I read as a child. All the same it was highly entertaining and deserving of being a classic.
Friendship and mischieviousness.
I grew up reading this book, a story about Huckleberry Finn and his adventurous life on the Mississippi River as a boy.
