The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, written by Mark Twain and published in 1884, is considered one of the greatest American novels. The story follows Huck Finn, a young boy who escapes from his abusive father and fakes his own death. He journeys down the Mississippi River on a raft with Jim, a runaway slave seeking freedom. Along the way, they encounter con artists, feuding families, and various adventures. Through Huck's eyes, Twain satirizes Southern society and confronts issues of racism and morality. The novel is celebrated for its vivid depiction of life along the Mississippi and its powerful critique of slavery.
