Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Illustrated throughout with the 188 original drawings (illustrator). Stated First Edition. META-CLASSIC: THE GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL: NEW First Edition hardcover (Orig. March 1996) First Printing: NEW handsomely-designed cover, NEW perfect binding, PRISTINE interior printed on SUPERB unblemished paper * 6.50" x 9.50" x 1.48", 0.86 kg, xxviii+420 (448) pp * ABOUT THE BOOK: "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is essential to the understanding of the American soul. The recent discovery of the first half of Twain's manuscript, long thought lost, made front-page news. And this unprecedented edition, which contains for the first time omitted episodes & other variations present in the first half of the handwritten manuscript, as well as facsimile reproductions of 30 manuscript pages, is indispensable to a full understanding of "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn". The changes, deletions, & additions that Mark Twain made in the first half of the original manuscript (changes that are more substantial, more numerous, & more significant than those he made in the second half) indicate that he frequently checked his impulse to write an even darker, more confrontational work than the book he ultimately published. He deleted an episode in which whites at a religious camp meeting try to avoid the embraces of a black slave woman--a woman who may think, mistakenly, that she has just been freed. And even in its smallest variations--such as the consistent alteration of vicious rawhide whippings to ordinary cowhide whippings--the original manuscript demonstrates the skill, restraint, & the constraints that affected Mark Twain's creative process. This edition, then, presents not only the "Huckleberry Finn" that has delighted & provoked readers everywhere for more than a century but also brings forward the original book behind the book. As Justin Kaplan, the prize-winning biographer of Twain, expresses it in his Introduction, "We see at work a writer w/ a near perfect ear for the right word & the right shading of idiom as he maneuvers between his purpose as a . . . literary artist & the diplomatic or expedient concessions he sometimes felt he had to make to the conventional tasted of his audience & the demands of the book business". Professor Victor Doyno, president of the Twain Circle, in his Foreword to the Text, summarizes the general effect of Twain's revisions: "The manuscript of 'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' . . . indicates, especially in the first half, that Twain started the project as an even darker, more satirical , & more provocative work than the first published edition turned out to be. Twain's America & ours is a country born of rebellion, a country once at war w/ itself over slavery & still struggling w/ racial conflicts, a country of unequaled diversity, a country in which distrust of regulation continues to flourish, a country in which the vernacular constantly renews itself & puts formal, stodgy diction to shame. This country has found a superb artistic embodiment in the story of a battered but mortally sound boy on the verge of manhood, an underdog, who, in a setting of natural power & beauty, confronts human folly, chicanery & violence, while he struggles w/ his own deformed conscience--& the slave-holding society that deformed it--& wins. He wins for himself, for the black slave Jim, who has become his friend, & for us all. Developments in race relations, education, & linguistic propriety have kept Mark Twain's masterpiece at the center of our culture & controversies. In gathering & presenting valuable new literary evidence, this comprehensive edition lends strong support to the growing consensus that "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is indeed the great American novel. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via Mandatory USPS PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.
