A natural storyteller and raconteur in his own right - just listen to Paddle Your Own Canoe and Gumption - actor, comedian, carpenter, and all-around manly man Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation) brings his distinctive baritone and a fine-tuned comic versatility to Twain's writing. In a knockout performance, he doesn't so much as read Twain's words as he does rejoice in them, delighting in the hijinks of Tom - whom he lovingly refers to as a "great scam artist" and "true American hero".

Reading from a new perspective
- De jb en 10-11-16
Nick Offerman's reading of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is, hands down, my favorite of the year. Yes, I'm a fan of the actor's work – I may even have his Parks and Rec character's \"Pyramid of Greatness\" displayed at my desk – but this isn't merely idol worship. There's a real warmth to Offerman's narration; a joyous quality that buzzes at the surface throughout and made the hearing of Twain's classic more personal. It's like that old customer service adage that a person can hear your smile over the phone; you can actually hear Offerman's appreciation and adoration for Tom, Huck, and Aunt Polly – for Twain's writing – in the telling itself.

It's a story you think you know: the age-old tale of "star-cross'd lovers"; two families at war; a romance, so pure and absolute, fated for a tragic end. It's a story so thoroughly embedded in our culture, and so frequently retold. Yet, nothing captures the spark, the possibility, and the surprise of Shakespeare's work quite like this....

Historia1,120
A debut novel already praised as "unbearably poignant and beautifully told" (Eimear McBride), this captivating story follows - over the course of four seasons - a misfit man who adopts a misfit dog. It is springtime, and two outcasts - a man ignored, even shunned by his village, and the one-eyed dog he takes into his quiet, tightly shuttered life - find each other, by accident or fate, and forge an unlikely connection. As their friendship grows, their small seaside town suddenly takes note of them.
