Sinossi

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a picaresque novel by the American writer Mark Twain first published in 1884; it is the ideal sequel to the previous The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and later followed by Tom Sawyer Detective and Tom Sawyer Abroad. The first-person narrator is an orphaned boy, who at some point decides to escape from human civilization in the company of a black slave: they will make a long journey of 1800 km aboard a raft along the Mississippi River. The story begins in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, based on Hannibal, the royal city in Missouri where Twain spent part of his childhood on the banks of the great river. The setting is from the early 1840s, as the first steamship sailed along the Mississippi in 1835, some twenty years before the outbreak of the American Civil War.

The Bird Who Lost Its Song -...

Aldous Heaf, Amanda Hill

Dedicated to the voices that refuse to be lost. 
Deep in the heart of an Australian forest, where golden sunlight filters through the trees, lives Renny, a regent honeyeater with feathers as dazzling as the morning sun. But Renny has a problem—he cannot sing. 
All the other birds have their own beautiful songs. The bellbirds chime like tiny silver bells, the kookaburras fill the air with laughter, and the wise old lyrebird can copy any sound he hears. But no matter how hard Renny tries, his song is missing. 
Determined to find it, Renny sets off on a journey through the forest. He listens, he learns, and he searches for the music that once belonged to birds like him. But where do lost songs go? 
Then, Renny meets Tilly, an elderly regent honeyeater who remembers things others have forgotten. She shares a secret—a whisper of something long ago, a sound carried on the wind. 
And in that moment, everything begins to change.

The Philip K Dick Short Story...

Philip K. Dick

The Philip K. Dick Short Story Collection - 5 Lost Sci-Fi Short Stories from the 1940s, 50s and 60s written by Philip K. Dick
The Hanging Stranger - Ed had always been a practical man, when he saw something was wrong he tried to correct it. Then one day he saw it hanging in the town square. From the lamppost something was hanging. A shapeless dark bundle, swinging a little with the wind. Like a dummy of some sort. Loyce rolled down his window and peered out. What the hell was it? A display of some kind? Sometimes the Chamber of Commerce put up displays in the square.
The Gun - Nothing moved or stirred. Everything was silent, dead. Only the gun showed signs of life ... and the trespassers had wrecked that for all time. The return journey to pick up the treasure would be a cinch ... they smiled.
Beyond The Door - Larry Thomas bought a cuckoo clock for his wife—without knowing the price he would have to pay. That night at the dinner table he brought it out and set it down beside her plate. Doris stared at it, her hand to her mouth. "My God, what is it?" She looked up at him, bright-eyed.
Beyond Lies The Wub - The slovenly wub might well have said: Many men talk like philosophers and live like fools. They had almost finished with the loading. Outside stood the Optus, his arms folded, his face sunk in gloom. Captain Franco walked leisurely down the gangplank, grinning.
The Eyes Have It - A little whimsy, now and then, makes for good balance. Theoretically, you could find this type of humor anywhere. But only a topflight science-fictionist, we thought, could have written this story, in just this way…
