The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Book Description Huckleberry Finn, Tom Sawyer's companion, is stuck between the violence of his alcoholic father and the demands of Mrs. Douglas, who takes on her protective mothership and tries to raise him with religious values and turn him into a well-behaved child. Unable to withstand the pressure of his conflicting views on life, Finn runs away and crosses paths with runaway slave Jim. Seeking freedom, the duo jumps on their raft, gets carried away by the current of the Mississippi River, and sets off towards the troubled shores. The friendship between Huckleberry Finn, whose mischief knows no bounds, and the naive and well-intentioned Jimin turns into an adventure full of sacrifices that breaks the prejudices of the time. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, considered one of Mark Twain's most important works, is adorned with unforgettable portraits of the southern states, slavery and ignorance before the American Civil War.
