Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, (Hardcover)

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is often considered Twain's greatest masterpiece. Combining his raw humor and startlingly mature material. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is the sequel to The Adventures of Tom Saywer. It is a biting satire of American South romanticism and a poignant portray of the pre-Civil War American society as the often naive but always perceptive perspective of Huckleberry Finn questions preconceived ideas and accepted prejudices. Twain developed a novel that directly attacked many of the traditions the South held dear at the time of its publication. Huckleberry Finn is the main character, and through his eyes, the reader sees and judges the South, its faults, and its redeeming qualities. As Huck navigates the Mississippi River by raft with his close companion, the runaway slave Jim, Huck confronts issues relating to the value of human life and friendship. At the end of his journey down the Mississippi River, he and the runaway slave Jim arrive at the epitome of the American dream: freedom! UNABRIDGED - ORIGINAL STORY
