A masterpiece of American literature, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn tells the story of Huck and Jim—an escaped slave—journeying down the Mississippi River. Through their adventure, Mark Twain presents a sharp satire of 19th-century American society, touching on themes of racism, freedom, and morality. Written in authentic vernacular language, the novel became a landmark in American literature and continues to be studied today. Twain captures Huck's internal conflict between social norms that endorsed slavery and his conscience driving him to free Jim.
