Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, written by Mark Twain and published in 1884, is a cornerstone of American literature. The novel follows Huck Finn, a young boy who escapes his abusive father by faking 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 colorful characters that expose the hypocrisies of antebellum Southern society. Through Huck's moral struggle over helping Jim, Twain explores themes of racism, freedom, friendship, and conscience. Told in authentic vernacular speech, the novel remains a masterpiece of social satire and storytelling.
