Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Mark Twain's classic work with a new introduction, character study, and examination of themes; a short biography is also included.


Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was first published in England in December 1884 and in the United States in February 1885. Considered as one of the Great American Novels, the work is among the first in major American literature to be written in the vernacular, characterized by local color regionalism. It is told in the first person by Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, a friend of Tom Sawyer and narrator of two other Twain novels (Tom Sawyer Abroad and Tom Sawyer, Detective).
