Huckleberry Finn, as drawn by E.W. Kemble, from the 1884 first edition.

'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is widely regarded as Mark Twain’s masterpiece. 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]
