Description

Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a coming-of-age story about a young boy named Huck Finn and his friend, Jim, a runaway slave. The story follows Huck and Jim as they journey down the Mississippi River on a raft, encountering various people and animals along the way. The novel is notable for its use of vernacular language and its depiction of American culture during the 19th century.

Author

Mark Twain was the pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835–1910), river pilot, Nevada journalist, and the writer who turned American talk into literature. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer gave boyhood its permanent stage; Adventures of Huckleberry Finn put a runaway child and a fugitive slave on the Mississippi and asked what conscience sounds like when the law is wrong. He lectured across America and Europe, lost fortunes, and kept writing.
