Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885) is widely regarded as Mark Twain's masterpiece and one of the great American novels of all time. Ernest Hemingway famously said that: "All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn." To which Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. added: "This is at least vaguely true, I suppose, of many modern books written by American men."[1]
