Description:The adventures of Huck and his companion Jim, a runaway slave, as they travel down the Mississippi to escape from slavery and "sivilization," have become as alive to readers across the world as anything in fiction. The two outcasts are "bosom friends," wrote Mark Twain, "drawn together by community of misfortune," but Huck must struggle with the values he has been taught: "In those old slave-holding days the whole community was agreed.... To help steal a horse or a cow was a low crime, but to help a hunted slave, or feed him or shelter him, or hide him, or comfort him, in his troubles, his terrors, his despair. . was a much baser crime." Scenes of almost heartbreaking pathos and suspense alternate with some of the wildest humor ever written. Simply put, Huckle- berry Finn is Mark Twain's masterpiece: revolutionary in style, surpassingly funny, and at the same time serious and perceptive about human nature.This text is based directly on the author's manuscript. It restores the "raftsmen's passage," an episode missing from most previous editions, and all of E. W. Kemble's "rattling good" first-edition illustrations.--front flapWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
