The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a novel by Mark
Twain, first published in the United Kingdom in December 1884
and in the United States in February 1885. Commonly named among
the Great American Novels, the work is among the first in major
American literature to be written throughout in vernacular
English, characterized by local color regionalism. It is told in
the first person by Huckleberry - Huck Finn, a friend of Tom
Sawyer and narrator of two other Twain novels (Tom Sawyer Abroad
and Tom Sawyer, Detective). It is a direct sequel to The
Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The book is noted for its colorful
description of people and places along the Mississippi River.
Set in a Southern antebellum society that had ceased to exist
about twenty years before the work was published, Adventures of
Huckleberry Finn is an often scathing satire on entrenched
attitudes, particularly racism.
Characters; 59. Amazon rating: 4 stars. Genre: Classic/Fiction.
