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

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]
