Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
A boy and a runaway slave on a raft, drifting down the Mississippi toward freedom. That's the simple spine of Mark Twain's masterpiece, but what happens inside those miles of river water is anything but simple. Huck Finn has escaped his drunk father in a skiff hewn from a canoe. Jim has escaped slavery in the night. Together they build a life on a tin can raft, watching the world slide past, meeting con men and kings, watching the shore switch from free state to slave state and back again. But the real journey is the one happening inside Huck's head, where everything he was raised to believe collides with the man walking beside him. Jim isn't a concept or a statistic. Jim is the best man Huck knows. And that knowledge is the most dangerous thing on the river. Written in Huck's own voice, rough and honest and occasionally lying to your face, this is the novel that asked America to look at itself and kept asking long after the book was done.
