Andreas Nohl | Mark Twain – Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn

Mark Twain for the 21st century: Andreas Nohl has crafted a new translation of the classic “Tom Sawyer” and its sequel “Huckleberry Finn”, closer to the original and more readable than ever. The natural language he uses avoids all affection and artifice, true to Mark Twain’s own literary criteria. In Nohl’s new translation, the two epochal novels about childhood and growing up, about life in the Deep South of the U.S., about adventure and everyday life in 19th-century America shine forth as what they are in the original: world literature.
