| In Concord, N.-H., dem Sitz der bekannten Philosophen-Schule, haben sie Mark Twain's letztes, sehr unbedeutendes Buch („Huckleberry Finn“) auf den „index librorum prohibitorum“ gesetzt und ihm dadurch zu einer unverdienten Berühmtheit verholfen. | In Concord, N.H., home to the famous School of Philosophy, Mark Twain's last, very insignificant book (“Huckleberry Finn”) was banned and thus brought to undeserved fame. |
