Perennially listed among the classics of American literature, Mark
Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885) broke new ground by
allowing a teenage boy to narrate his own story. The son of a cruel
town drunkard, Huck Finn vividly describes his friendship with Tom
Sawyer, his resolve to run away from his abusive father, and his
decision to join a runaway slave named Jim in a search for freedom.
Jim and Huck's days and nights on a raft floating down the
Mississippi River form one of the most evocative stories of
interracial bonding ever written, and the bizarre characters they
encounter in their journey are memorably sketched. Though comical
in places, ultimately the book warns about the price of immoral
social conformity. Editor Alan Gribben explains the historical and
literary context of Twain's novel and vigorously defends it against
the many critics who fault its language, relationships, and
conclusion. Gribben also supplies a helpful guide to Twain's
satirical targets. This Original Text Edition faithfully follows
the wording of the first edition.
