ISBN Adventures of Huckleberry Finn 352 pages English

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.
