A proposito di questo titolo

Welcome aboard The Twain Train - the only conveyance I know of that runs on steam, mischief, and an alarming shortage of good sense.

I’m Mark Twain (or a remarkably convincing echo of him), and I’ve brought along two specialists in trouble: Tom Sawyer, who can turn a fence into a fortune, and Huckleberry Finn, who can turn a quiet afternoon into a full-blown escape. Together we’ll drift the Mississippi, dodge respectability, and uncover the kind of truths that prefer to arrive wearing a joke.

So settle in, keep your hands inside the imagination at all times, and mind the gap between what folks say they are and what they’ll do when nobody’s looking. Next stop: adventure.Public domain
  • Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Chapter 03
    Feb 16 2026
    In which Huck contemplates the curious effectiveness of prayer and the notion of Providence with a mixture of scepticism and honesty, all the while keeping an uneasy eye out for his troublesome father. Meanwhile, he and Tom Sawyer engage in imaginative escapades involving grand adventures and fanciful tales of genies, elephants, and enchanted treasure, though Huck suspects there’s more make-believe than reality behind it all.

  • Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Chapter 02
    Feb 14 2026
    In which a gang of youngsters, inspired by daring tales of robbers and pirates, swear oaths of secrecy and plot their fantastical deeds from a secret cave, all the while tangled up in boyish notions of murder, ransom, and high adventure. Amidst these grand designs, we glimpse the simple, restless cravings of youth—its itching that must not be scratched, its thrills that must be secretly chased by moonlight down riverbanks and through shadowy woods.

  • Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Chapter 01
    Feb 12 2026
    In which a young lad named Huck Finn gives a plain and honest account of his uneasy time being 'sivilized' by the Widow Douglas and Miss Watson, all the while wrestling with the constraints of their notions and the eerie loneliness of a quiet night. With a nod to youthful mischief and friendship, Huck’s story takes a turn as he quietly escapes to seek the company of his old companion, Tom Sawyer.
