Publisher Description
Premier Livre : Les Aventures de Huckleberry Finn est un roman de l'Américain Mark Twain. Moins connu que Les Aventures de Tom Sawyer, Les Aventures de Huckleberry Finn est souvent considéré comme le chef-d'œuvre de Twain, et comme le livre fondateur de la littérature américaine moderne. Il est raconté à la première personne par Huckleberry 'Huck' Finn. Il s'agit d'une suite directe des Aventures de Tom Sawyer. Huckleberry Finn est alors sous l'intendance vigilante de la veuve Douglas. Cependant, lorsqu'il est forcé de retourner sous la garde de son père alcoolique, Huck simule sa propre mort et s'enfuit le long de la rivière. En chemin, il rencontre Jim, un esclave en fuite, et tous deux deviennent amis et compagnons de voyage. Leurs aventures les mènent à travers de nombreux rebondissements dans le Sud américain, les entraînant dans un voyage légendaire... Deuxième Livre : La Vie et Les Aventures de Robinson Crusoé, l'un des romans les plus publiés de l'histoire, raconte l'histoire d'un jeune Anglais naufragé dans une tempête et contraint de se débrouiller seul sur une île isolée... du moins le croit-il. Considéré comme le premier roman de langue anglaise et comme le premier exemple de fiction réaliste en tant que genre littéraire, il connut un grand succès à sa parution. Il est à ce jour considéré comme un livre majeur de la littérature classique.

About the Authors
Daniel Defoe (1660–1731), born in London as Daniel Foe, was a novelist, pamphleteer, journalist, and political spy. He is celebrated for his frank and dramatic realism in fiction and the accuracy, vigor, and lucidity of his journalism. Considered the father of the English novel, he was also the first author of ghost stories in English literature. He is best known for his novels Robinson Crusoe and Moll Flanders.
Mark Twain, pseudonym of Samuel L. Clemens (1835–1910), was born in Florida, Missouri, and grew up in Hannibal on the west bank of the Mississippi River. He attended school briefly and then at age thirteen became a full-time apprentice to a local printer. When his older brother Orion established the Hannibal Journal, Samuel became a compositor for that paper and then, for a time, an itinerant printer. With a commission to write comic travel letters, he traveled down the Mississippi. Smitten with the riverboat life, he signed on as an apprentice to a steamboat pilot. After 1859, he became a licensed pilot, but two years later the Civil War put an end to the steam-boat traffic.
In 1861, he and his brother traveled to the Nevada Territory where Samuel became a writer for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise, and there, on February 3, 1863, he signed a humorous account with the pseudonym Mark Twain. The name was a river man’s term for water “two fathoms deep” and thus just barely safe for navigation.
In 1870 Twain married and moved with his wife to Hartford, Connecticut. He became a highly successful lecturer in the United States and England, and he continued to write.
