Produktbeschreibung
Known as one of the Great American Novels, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is the sequel to Mark Twain's other classic, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer." Huck Finn, the friend of Tom Sawyer, has no choice but to live with his father, a drunk who has just returned to town. Due to the treatment he receives from his father, Huck fakes his own death to escape his terrible life and finds himself an unassuming friend-a runaway slave named Jim. Together, the two end up caught in their own crazy adventures. While the book is known for capturing the culture of the old South, it has been heavily criticized for its usage of stereotypes and racial slurs, despite the overarching theme being anti-racism. This edition has not been 'sanitized' and remains faithful to the original, retaining Twain's original descriptions and depictions. Left as such, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is an incredible novel about a boy struggling to find where he fits into his society, and its social commentary on identity and race makes it a classic read.
Autorenporträt
Mark Twain was the pen name of Samuel L. Clemens, who was born in 1835. His folksy humor and regional realism grew out of his childhood in Missouri along the Mississippi River. He came to be known as the Father of American Literature for his satirical comedy in short stories, novels, and essays that give us an unflinching look at the rapidly changing world of the nineteenth century.
