| Publisher Description: One of the Great American Novels, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is a 1884 classic work from American writer, Mark Twain. The story follows Huckleberry (Huck), a young boy around 13 or 14 years old, on his travels down the Mississippi River with a runaway slave named Jim. A story about life in the deep South, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is a brash commentary on several sustained 19th century American stereotypes. Throughout the story, Huck's pubescent ignorance is contrasted to the corrupt society in which he lives. Huck learns to look past his instilled prejudices to form an unorthodox friendship with an African American slave. One of the most controversial books ever written, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is often criticized for its crude language and vulgarity, yet, it is one of the most widely read and distributed books throughout America. |
