Huck Finn

Book • 1885
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a picaresque novel that follows Huck Finn and Jim, a runaway slave, as they travel down the Mississippi River.

The story explores themes of racism, identity, and the moral education of Huck, who learns to see Jim as a human being rather than a slave.

Through their adventures, Twain critiques societal norms and the hypocrisy of 'civilized' society.
