Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
By Mark Twain
Categories: Literature & Fiction
Mark Twain's 1885 novel is narrated by Huck Finn, a boy from a Mississippi River town who fakes his own death to escape his violent, drunken father. Huck sets off down the river on a raft with Jim, a man fleeing slavery, and their journey brings them up against con men, feuding families and the hypocrisy of the towns along the banks. Told in Huck's own voice, the novel takes on slavery, race and freedom. This unabridged Dover edition reprints the text of the first American edition.
