The version available here at MobileRead by GrannyGrump is excellent.

Huck may be one of those books that we all think that we have read and haven't.

Talk of translations: I just looked at https://welovetranslations.com/2022/...and-margarita/
"The Master and Margarita" is one of my favorite books. The comparison still left my head spinning.

Translation is such a quagmire.
I sometimes wonder if it's better to read language X in my non-native language Y or in English.
Is the similarity of X and Y sufficient to overcome the fact that Y is not native to me?
Or should I do it just for practice?
