Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is one of the central works of American literature: a river journey, a comic adventure, and a profound moral novel about freedom, conscience, race, and the lies a society tells itself.
Huck Finn runs away from his violent father and escapes down the Mississippi River on a raft with Jim, an enslaved man seeking freedom. Their journey carries them through fog, feuds, wrecks, con men, false identities, comic disasters, and moments of real danger. What begins as an adventure story becomes something deeper: Huck is forced to choose between the morality he has been taught and the humanity he sees before him.
First published in the United Kingdom in 1884 and in the United States in 1885, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is famous for its vernacular voice, its satire, its river setting, and its unsparing view of American hypocrisy. Twain gives Huck a plainspoken narrative voice capable of comedy, innocence, evasion, and painful moral discovery. The novel remains both widely read and widely debated, especially for its treatment of slavery, racism, language, childhood, and moral independence. Britannica notes the novel's 1884 UK and 1885 US publication history and identifies Huck's vernacular narration as central to its force.
This Wilder Publications edition is suited to readers of classic American fiction, Mark Twain, nineteenth-century literature, coming-of-age stories, Mississippi River fiction, satire, and novels concerned with freedom, conscience, and American identity.
