Description
"Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain is a picaresque novel published in 1884-1885. Told in vernacular English, it follows young Huck Finn as he escapes his abusive father and flees down the Mississippi River with Jim, an enslaved man seeking freedom. Their journey brings encounters with feuding families, con artists, and moral dilemmas that challenge Huck's conscience. Set in the antebellum South, this sequel to "Tom Sawyer" is celebrated for its portrayal of boyhood and its satirical examination of racism and society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
