By Mark Twain (writer), María José Martín Pinto (translator)
The adventures of Huckleberry Finn, friend of Tom Sawyer, and the slave Jim not only transport us to Mississippi America, to the slave South, but also introduce us to characters immersed in contradiction: between freedom and social norms, between friendship and duty. With its original narrative style and realistic theme, this work, of which we offer its full version, has managed to become the quintessential American classic, to the point that Hemingway said of it in "The Green Hills of Africa": "All modern American literature comes from a book written by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn ... All American texts come from this book. There was nothing before. Since then there hasn't been anything so good."
