The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

by Mark Twain

Huck Finn escapes his abusive father and rafts down the Mississippi with Jim, an enslaved man seeking freedom. Twain's masterpiece captures antebellum America through vernacular prose, satirizing racism and societal hypocrisy while chronicling Huck's moral awakening. A foundational text of American literature that remains both celebrated and contested.
