You don't know about me, without you have read a book by the name
of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," but that ain't no matter.
So begins, in characteristic fashion, one of the greatest American
novels. Narrated by a poor, illiterate white boy living in
America's deep South before the Civil War, Adventures of
Huckleberry Finn is the story of Huck's escape from his brutal
father and the relationship that grows between him and Jim, the
slave who is fleeing from an even more brutal oppression. As they
journey down the Mississippi their adventures address some of the
most profound human conundrums: the prejudices of class, age, and
colour are pitted against the qualities of hope, courage, and moral
character.
Enormously influential in the development of American literature,
Huckleberry Finn remains a controversial novel at the centre of
impassioned critical debate. This edition discusses all the current
issues and the evolution of Mark Twain's penetrating genius.
