The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is Mark Twain’s exhilarating Mississippi adventure story and the companion to Tom Sawyer.

In hiding from his drunken and tyrannical father, Huck Finn escapes to Jackson’s Island, where he meets Jim, a runaway slave. Together the boys set off on a raft down the Mississippi, in a daring bid for freedom from so-called ‘sivilization’.

Action-packed and crammed with vibrant characters and incidents, Huckleberry Finn catches more vividly than any other novel the comedy, terror, resilience and spontaneity of boyhood. More than a merę sequel to Tom Sawyer, it is Mark Twain’s masterpiece and a great American novel.
