Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Also known as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huckleberry Finn
Synopsis
Huck Finn fakes his death to escape an abusive father and rafts down the Mississippi with Jim, a man fleeing slavery. Twain writes in Huck’s voice, so the moral discoveries arrive sideways, in a boy who has been taught the wrong name for every decent thing he is about to do.
