Málo známé dobrodružství hrdinů bude jistě pro mnoho čtenářů překvapením. Po knihách Dobrodružství Toma Sawyera, Dobrodružství Huckleberryho Finna a Tom Sawyer detektivem čtvrtý titul se světově proslulými hrdiny v češtině samostatně nikdy vyšel. Objevil se pouze v roce 1966 jako součást Twainových spisů. Je to opět úsměvné dílo plné dobré nálady, vtipu a klukovských taškařic, v němž samozřejmě nechybí ani řada postav z předchozích vyprávění. Co je jejich ústředním námětem, napovídá název. Knihu v duchu předchozích ilustrací Kamila Lhotáka ilustrovala Zuzana Krutá.
Mark Twain’s two most famous creations, Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, are reunited in this high-spirited and captivating tale of mystery and murder in deepest Arkansas. When Tom and Huck are invited to stay at Tom’s uncle’s farm in Arkansas, they jump at the opportunity to escape the tedium of a long winter at home. A chance encounter on a steamboat downriver, though, leads to a complex plot of diamond heists, mistaken identity, and murder, involving the two boys in a bigger adventure than even they had in mind. Huck’s typically bemused, folksy narration provides a poignant contrast to Tom’s frenetic ingenuity, as the mystery begins tortuously to unravel, and it is in these two wryly affectionate portrayals that Twain breaths life and humor into his charming, unjustly neglected tale. Mark Twain is one of America’s greatest writers. His best-loved work, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, is widely considered to be the first modern American novel.
