If you don't know anything about me, you probably haven't read "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," but that doesn't matter. Thus begins, characteristically, one of the greatest American novels. Narrated by a poor, illiterate white boy living in America's Deep South before the Civil War, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" chronicles Huck's escape from his cruel father and his developing relationship with Jim, the slave trying to escape even harsher oppression. Their journey down the Mississippi River explores some of the most profoundly human questions: prejudices about class, age, and skin color are pitted against hope, courage, and moral character. This book has had a significant impact on the development of American literature and remains a controversial novel at the center of passionate critical debates. This edition addresses all the current issues and the evolution of Mark Twain's penetrating genius. Intertaal is your reliable supplier, guaranteeing fast delivery.
