Adventures of
Huckleberry Finn
by Mark Twain (1835-1910)
Adventures of Huckleberry
Finn (1884) by Mark Twain is one of the truly
great American novels, beloved by children, adults,
and literary critics alike. The book tells the story
of “Huck” Finn (first introduced as Tom Sawyer’s
sidekick in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer),
his friend Jim, and their journey down the
Mississippi River on a raft. Both are on the run,
Huck from his drunk and abusive father, and Jim as a
runaway slave.
As Huck and Jim drift down the
river, they meet many colorful characters and have
many great adventures. The true heart of the story,
however, is the friendship between Huck and Jim. A
constant theme throughout the book is Huck’s
internal struggle between what he has been taught,
that helping a runaway slave is a sin, and what he
truly believes, that Jim is a good man and it
couldn’t possibly be wrong to help him.
Adventures of Huckleberry
Finn was unique at the time of its publication
(1884) because it is narrated by Huck himself and is
written in the numerous dialects common in the area
and time in which the book is set. Although the book
was originally intended as a sequel to the
children’s book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,
as Twain wrote Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
it progressed into a more serious work. Twain’s
views on slavery and other social issues of the time
become clear through the words, thoughts, and
actions of Huck Finn. The book has always been the
subject of great controversy, and according to The
American Library Association it was fifth on the
list of most frequently challenged books in the
1990s.
