Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885). Mark Twain (American, 1835-1910). New York: Charles L. Webster. Octavo, original gilt- and black-stamped green pictorial cloth. First edition.The book is noted for its colorful description of people and places along the Mississippi River. Satirizing a Southern antebellum society that had ceased to exist about twenty years before the work was published, it is an often scathing look at entrenched attitudes, particularly racism.“Right is right, and wrong is wrong, and a body ain’t got no business doing wrong when he ain’t ignorant and knows better.” ― Mark Twain, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn -- source link
