Description

Meet Tom swayer's best friend, Huckleberry Finn. All Huck wants in his life is adventure. But the well-meaning folks of St Petersburg, missouri-like widow Douglas and judge thatcher-are determined to 'civilise' Him! Bored with his mundane life, Huck runs away and sets off on a whirlwind journey across the river Mississippi with a runaway slave, Jim. And it begins. Huck and Jim embark on their exciting escapade; a trip in which they come across many interesting characters- murderers, con artists, do-gooders and what-nots. But how long will Huck and Jim's luck last? Mark Twain threads together a tale of adventure layered with satire on racism, American way of life and morality in the 19th - century. The adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a must-read classic.

About the Author

Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born in Missouri in 1835. Early in his childhood, the family moved to Hannibal, Missouri - a town which would provide the inspiration for St Petersburg in Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. When he started writing in earnest in his thirties, he adopted the pseudonym Mark Twain (the cry of a Mississippi boatman taking depth measurements, meaning 'two fathoms'), and a string of highly successful publications followed. His later life, however, was marked by personal tragedy and sadness, as well as financial difficulty. In 1894, several businesses in which he had invested failed, and he was declared bankrupt. Over the next fifteen years he saw the deaths of two of his beloved daughters, and his wife. Increasingly bitter and depressed, Twain died in 1910, aged seventy-four.
