"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain (the pen name of Samuel Clemens) was first published in the United States on December 10, 1884. The novel is a sequel to Twain's earlier work, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," and it is considered one of the great American literary classics.
Set in the pre-Civil War South, the novel follows the adventures of a young boy named Huck Finn and a runaway slave named Jim as they journey down the Mississippi River on a raft. The novel is known for its social commentary, humor, and exploration of themes such as racism, morality, and the hypocrisy of societal norms.
While "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is now widely celebrated for its literary achievements, it was initially met with controversy due to its portrayal of racial issues and the use of vernacular language. Over time, the novel has come to be recognized as a powerful and important work in American literature, addressing complex and enduring themes in a unique and influential way.
