The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain (Hardcover)

Description

“The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” is a novel written by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) and was first published in the United Kingdom in 1884 and in the United States in 1885. It is considered one of the great American novels and a classic of American literature.

The novel is a sequel to Twain’s earlier work, “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,” and it follows the character of Huckleberry Finn, a young boy seeking freedom and adventure. Set in the pre-Civil War South, the story explores themes of race, morality, and the hypocrisy of society.

Huck Finn, accompanied by Jim, a runaway slave, travels down the Mississippi River on a raft, encountering various characters and facing moral dilemmas along the way. The novel is known for its satirical take on societal norms and its use of regional dialects.

While “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” has been praised for its realism, humor, and social commentary, it has also been the subject of controversy due to its use of racial language and its depiction of slavery. Despite these concerns, it remains a significant work in American literature and is studied in schools and universities around the world.
