Sinossi
"La storia di Huck e della sua fuga in zattera lungo il Mississippi con il negro Jim, fino al ricongiungimento col compagno di scorrerie Tom Sawyer negli ultimi capitoli di un libro che nacque come proseguimento del precedente Le avventure di Tom Sawyer, era tra le preferite di Ernest Hemingway, che citava sempre Mark Twain tra i suoi autori fondamentali: e non a caso, naturalmente, visto che fin dai suoi esordi anche l'autore di Fiesta lavorò molto duramente per riuscire a ricreare sulla pagina la lingua della strada, cosa per cui venne assai criticato. Molti, tra cui Joyce Carol Oates, considerano Le avventure di Huckleberry Finn 'Il Grande Romanzo Americano'. Altri, come T.S. Eliot, lo considerano l'unico vero capolavoro di Mark Twain. Di sicuro Le avventure di Huckleberry Finn è un romanzo-mondo, scritto superbamente, e divertentissimo. Huck Finn, in quanto ribelle adolescente refrattario a qualsiasi forma di autorità e di imposizione, sta all'origine di Holden Caulfield e di tutti i ribelli adolescenti della letteratura nordamericana. E il fiume Mississippi [...] è al tempo stesso uno dei protagonisti principali del libro e una metafora. Ma la storia di Huck Finn [...] è anche una grande satira sulla democrazia americana e sugli americani, in genere timorati di Dio ma sempre felici di impiccare un negro." (dall'Introduzione di Giuseppe Culicchia)

After reading Adventures of Huckleberry Finn , I realized that I had absolutely nothing to say about it. And yet here, as you see, I have elected to say it anyway, and at great length. Reading this novel now, at the age of mumble-mumble, is a bit like arriving at the circus after the tents have been Leggi tutto
Hemingway said American fiction begins and ends with Huck Finn , and he's right. Twain's most famous novel is a tour de force. He delves into issues such as racism, friendship, war, religion, and freedom with an uncanny combination of lightheartedness and gravitas. There are several moments in the bo Leggi tutto
The ugly face of slavery and racism Described in detail by one of the big storytellers Twain just had the intuition and talent to create a milestone of enlightening literature, showing humankind its worst flaws by not moralizing, proselytizing, and thereby boring the audience.

Mark Twain tells us the story of Huckleberry Finn and Jim, who attempts to free themselves from society's restraints in this book. The racism aspect of this novel is one of the most discussed and debated topics. The readers will have to encounter the N-word multiple times, which can be difficult
"I about made up my mind to pray; and see if I couldn't try to quit being the kind of boy I was, and be better. So I kneeled down. But the words wouldn't come. Why wouldn't they?

Too Serious, Too Slow The Adventures of Tom Sawyer was fun while Huck Finn has a more somber tone. The pacing was also off and seemed to drag. For the record, James by Percival Everett significantly departs from this book. Apparently, he too fell asleep in the last half of the book and decided to take Leggi tutto
