The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
£12.99The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Set in pre-Civil War Missouri and traversing the Mississippi River region, Twain’s sequel to his picaresque novel ‘The Adventures of Tom Sawyer’ follows Huck as he stages his own death to escape his alcoholic father and sets off on an odyssey marked by comedy, danger, and adventure. He soon meets Jim, the enslaved man working for Huck’s erstwhile guardians, the Widow Douglas and her sister Miss Watson. Jim had run away after overhearing the ladies discuss selling him, and Huck and Jim set sail on a raft down the Mississippi, headed for the Free State of Illinois. Twain’s piquant humour finds full expression in this 19th-century literary classic, and Huck’s frank, boyish narration, told in the vernacular of his time, offers true merriment. But despite Twain’s disavowal, the story’s moral centre becomes inarguably apparent when Jim is caught and Huck vows to help his friend escape.
