Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is widely regarded as a classic American novel--a groundbreaking one in which the author attempts to accurately portray society through the use of at-times coarse vernacular English. In this book, readers can experience the full text of Twain's Huckleberry Finn accompanied by annotations in footnote form throughout. As a result, this classic is transformed into a fascinating historical documentation of 19th-century American life and society that touches on topics like slavery, the transportation revolution, race, class, and confidence men.
Bringing the perspective of a social and economic historian, Ranjit S. Dighe offers more than 150 annotations as well as supporting essays that put the characters, incidents, and settings of the book into their historical context. First-time readers get to experience a great American novel with memorable characters, vivid imagery, and a great narrative voice while simultaneously learning about American history; teachers and students who have read Huckleberry Finn before will enjoy re-reading it, especially with insightful annotations that connect the story to the historical timeline. This book exposes the subtle lessons Twain's tale has to teach us about America's growth, development, conflicts, and mass movements in the nation's first century.

Описание: 2 books in slipcase. Books included: "Mohan Samant: Erotic Sketchbooks" and "Mohan Samant: Paintings". Mohan Samant (1924-2004), among the earliest of the post-Independence modern Indian artists to train in India and settle as a successful mature artist in the West, has been called one of the few artists who has successfully made the bridge between Eastern and Western traditions. Born in Mumbai, Samant received his diploma from the Sir JJ School of Art in 1952, where he had studied under S B Palsikar. That year he joined the Progressive Artists Group. Extended periods abroad - 1957-58 in Rome and travel in Europe and Egypt, 1959-64 in New York City - preceded his leaving Mumbai permanently for New York in 1968, where he lived until his death in 2004. This boxed set of two volumes presents a comprehensive overview of Samants life and work. Also included are essays on Samants place in the development of modernism in post-Independence India, a chronological survey of the styles, techniques and themes employed by the artist, and analyses of the media and techniques he utilised. Published in association with Abraham Joel, New York, and Pundole Art Gallery, Mumbai. With an introduction by Ranjit Hoskote and additional contributions from Abhijeet Gondkar, Virginia Kaycoff, Sharad Ghamande, Barbara Bertieri, Abraham Joel, and Judith Wink.
