Long cherished by readers of all ages: the hilarious account of an incorrigible truant and a powerful parable of innocence in conflict with the fallen adult world from the author of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and "the father of American literature" (William Faukner, Nobel Prize-Winning Author).

"All modern literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn It's the best book we've had. All American writing comes from that." Ernest Hemingway, Nobel Prize-Winning Author of The Sun Also Rises

The mighty Mississippi River of the antebellum South gives the novel both its colorful backdrop and its narrative shape, as the runaways Huck and Jim a young rebel against civilization allied with an escaped slave drift down its length on a flimsy raft. Their journey, at times rollickingly funny but always deadly serious in its potential consequences, takes them ever deeper into the slave-holding South, and our appreciation of their shared humanity grows as we watch them travel physically farther from yet morally closer to the freedom they both passionately seek.
Autorenporträt
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, and essayist, born on November 30, 1835, in Florida, Missouri. Twain is widely regarded as the greatest humorist the United States has produced, with renowned author William Faulkner calling him "the father of American literature." Twain's works, such as "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," have earned him international acclaim, and his unique blend of humor, social criticism, and storytelling left an indelible mark on American literature. He was also known for his wit and satirical commentary on society, race, and human nature. Twain married Olivia Langdon in 1870, and together they had four children: Clara, Jean, Susy, and Langdon. He passed away on April 21, 1910, at the age of 74 in Stormfield, Redding, Connecticut. Twain's legacy continues to influence writers and humorists around the world, and his works remain central to American literary studies.
