Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

by Mark Twain

1884 · Novel · Adventure

Open Library OL53908W

Huck Finn fakes his death and rafts the Mississippi with Jim, who is escaping enslavement. Twain’s novel is funny, and it does not let the joke forgive the country it travels.

About the author

Twain’s river books look like boyhood adventures and keep turning into arguments about conscience, fraud, and American speech. Huckleberry Finn is the one that refuses a tidy moral. More of this shelf for Mark Twain.
