  • Summary

  • "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain, a novel published in 1884, is a vivid portrayal of life along the Mississippi River, told by the irrepressible Huckleberry Finn, a runaway boy who experiences exciting adventures with his friend Tom Sawyer and a runaway slave named Jim. Initially, Huck feigns his own death to escape his abusive father and then teams up with Jim who is seeking freedom from slavery. As they journey down the river and encounter multifaceted characters, Huck learns profound lessons about friendship, morality, and human nature. The book explores societal attitudes towards slavery, racism, and civilization, representing the stark contradictions in the American Deep South. With its use of vernacular language, humor, and social criticism, Huck Finn remains one of the most cherished and controversial classics of American literature.
