"All modern literature comes from one book by Mark Twain. It’s the best book we’ve had. All American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing since" First Edition of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
First edition. Octavo, original publisher's decorated green cloth with pale peach endpapers. A very good copy with some rubbing to the spine tips and edges of the boards. With the following points: The title leaf states 1884 copyright, the frontispiece shows no pedestal under the bust and Heliotype Printing Co.; Him and another man listed at p.88 on the Illustrations page; p.57 printed "with the was"; and p.155 missing the final 5.
Ernest Hemingway once declared about The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, "All modern literature comes from one book by Mark Twain. It’s the best book we’ve had. All American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing since."
