At some point in our lives we believe that creak, that low moan, that whisper is something unnatural, beyond our comprehension. And in these stories our instincts are right. We are afraid. And we should be. Perhaps even terrified. In this volume our classic authors take different approaches, but the result is inevitably the same. We are hooked by these unknowable forces, our emotions heightened and rattled by the expectation - or shock - of the next few words.

Det finns mer att upptäcka av Mark Twains författarskap förutom de berömda romanerna om Tom Sawyer och Huckleberry Finn. "På Mississippifloden : minnen, händelser och äventyr" är på en gång reseskildring och självbiografi sjudande av nostalgi, satir och melankoli. Författaren återvänder till Mississippifloden där han lekte som barn, drömde sig bort som yngling och som han nu möter igen som en mogen och framgångsrik man.

When Huckleberry Finn (Huck) runs away from his abusive father with his companion, the runaway slave Jim, he begins a long and frequently interrupted expedition down the Mississippi River on a raft. During the journey Huck encounters a variety of characters through whom the book outstandingly portrays almost every social class living on or along the river. As a result of these experiences, Huck overcomes conventional racial prejudices and learns to respect and love Jim. 

Two boys, young men really, one a Prince and heir to the throne of England, and one a poor lad without a shilling, discover one another and their remarkable resemblance. The Prince proposes they exchange places for a brief time, and so we begin a rousing adventure where a sheltered Prince learns that life, often fraught with dangerous turns, is not what he had thought, while a kindly uneducated Pauper nervously prepares to rule a country in the wake of the King's passing.
