As Mark Twain, the Missouri native found his place in the world. Author, journalist, lecturer, wit, and sage, Twain created enduring works that have enlightened and amused readers of all ages for generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJacket Description\/Back\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tReferring to \n\u003ci\u003eAdventures of Huckleberry Finn, \u003c\/i\u003e H.

Influencing subsequent generations of writers -- from Sherwood Anderson to Twain's fellow Missourian, T.S. Eliot, from Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner to J.D. Salinger -- \"Huckleberry Finn,\" like the river which flows through its pages, is one of the great sources which nourished and still nourishes the literature of America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tReferring to \n\u003ci\u003eAdventures of Huckleberry Finn, \u003c\/i\u003e H.
