"The full account of Huck's epic journey the way Huck himself would have told it -- unvarnished, unbowdlerized, and unexpurgated.In Professor Seelye's faithful rendition of Huck's true story, the boy's salty humanness, his realistic depiction of sin, sex, slavery, and salvation in the Mississippi Valley of mid-nineteenth century America, comes through unfiltered by Victorian prudery. New light is also thrown on such hitherto suppressed episodes as Huck's early romance and what really happened to Jim." |
