In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck escapes from the clutches of
his drunken father 'Pap' and the 'civilizing' guardian Widow Douglas.
After faking his own death to get freedom during his travel, Huck
encounters Jim, a runaway slave. Together, they get on an exciting
journey along the Mississippi River and meet different people. With the
passage of time, Huck finds himself in a moral quandary over communal
values and his friendship with Jim. Published in 1884 The Adventures of
Huckleberry Finn was a criticism of racism, class prejudices and
identity conflicts. This timeless American novel by Mark Twain is among
the first in American literature to be written in regional English. With
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain presents a sharp social
commentary on 19th century American life through scornful satire, folksy
humour, colloquial speech and uncouth language.
