　　In this centenary year of the first American edition ofHuckleberry Finn, Neider, who has worked long and well in thethickets of Twain scholarship (this is the ninth Twain volume hehas edited), offers a most fitting tribute, for which he will bethanked in some quarters, damned in others. Neider's contributionis twofold: he has restored to its rightful place the great raftingchapter, which the author had lifted from themanu*-in-progress and dropped into Life on the Mississippi,and he has abridged some of the childish larkiness in the portionsin which Huck's friend Tom Sawyer intrudes into this novel. Fordecades, critics have lamented the absence of the "missing" chapterand deplored the jarring presence of Tom in episodes that slow thenarrative, but not until now has anyone had the temerity to setmatters right. In paring back the "Tom" chapters (which he fullydocuments in his lengthy, spirited introduction, with literal linecounts of the excised material), Neider has achieved a briskerread. Though there may be some brickbats thrown at him for this"sacrilege," few should object to the belated appearance of thetransplanted rafting chapter in the novel in which it clearlybelongs.

　　A seminal work of American Literature that still commands deep
praise and still elicits controversy, Adventures of Huckleberry
Finn is essential to the understanding of the American soul. The
recent discovery of the first half of Twain's manu*, long
thought lost, made front-page news. And this unprecedented edition,
which contains for the first time omitted episodes and other
variations present in the first half of the handwritten manu*,
as well as facsimile reproductions of thirty manu* pages, is
indispensable to a full understanding of the novel. The changes,
deletions, and additions made in the first half of the manu*
indicate that Mark Twain frequently checked his impulse to write an
even darker, more confrontational book than the one he finally
published. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable

　　Grade 9 Up-All the highwater tales of Huck's journey are in this
abridged versionAhis faked death, the Jackson Island sojourn, the
Grangerford-Shepherdson feud, the Duke and the King, and his
reunion with Tom Sawyer. Along the way, we are treated to a sensual
feast of the sights, smells, and rhythms of the Mississippi River
and the humanistic education of Huck that culminates in his
assisting in Jim's escape. The familiar adventures of Huck and
runaway slave Jim's odyssey on a raft floating down the Mississippi
have been well documented previously in audio format with noted
versions read by Ed Begley, Will Wheaton (both from Dove), and the
1985 Grammy nominated Durkin Hayes production read by Dick Cavett.
This version, beautifully read by actor Mike McShane, is a
wonderful contribution to the recorded Twain canon. McShane handles
multiple characterizations well, but excels in Huck's folksy
narrative voice and Jim's understated power and dignity. School and
public libraries should not miss this excellent rendition.

内容简介

　　"A GOLD MINE FOR SCHOLARS." *Deidre Carmody The New York Times Now, in this extraordinary literary uncovering, the original first half of Mark Twain's American masterpiece is available for the first time ever to a general readership. Lost for more than a century, the passages reinstated in this edition reveal a novel even more controversial than the version Twain published in 1885 and provide an invaluable insight into his creative process. A breakthrough of unparalleled impact, this comprehensive edition of an American classic is the final rebuttal in the tireless debate of "what Twain really meant." " A] MASTERLY RESTORATION . . . I wish this new version of Huckleberry Finn would be distributed to all the nation's classrooms as the basic text and lead to a badly needed reconsideration of the questions it raises." *James A. McPherson Chicago Tribune "THOUGHTFULLY RESPECTS TWAIN'S INTENTIONS." *Gary Lee Stonum The Cleveland Plain Dealer With a Foreword and Addendum by Victor Doyno "From the Paperback edition."
