Poehling, of the Bowman Gray

Narrated by Courtney B.
Vance.
"One of America's most
beloved and banned books, Mark Twain's novel was attacked
when it was published in 1885
for its 'low morals.' Later, it
became part of
the American literary canon,
only to become controversial again on the grounds
of racism--a charge that is
still debated in schools today. Is
Huck a brillaint
satire against racism, or
does it reinforce stereotypes?"--Packaging.
