The Penguin English Library Edition of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
'I'm unfavourable to killin' a man as long as you can git around it; it ain't good sense, it ain't good morals. Ain't I right?'
The original Great American Novel, an incomparable adventure story and a classic of anarchic humour, Twain's masterpiece sees Huckleberry Finn and Jim the slave escape their difficult lives by fleeing down the Mississippi on a raft. There, they find steamships, feuding families, an unlikely Duke and King, and vital lessons about the world in which they live. With its unforgettable cast of characters, Hemingway called this 'the best book we've ever had'.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain is celebrated for its vivid depiction of American life along the Mississippi River and its criticism of societal norms and racial issues. Reviewers praise Twain’s masterful characterisation and the novel’s adventurous spirit, though it occasionally faces criticism for its use of language and portrayal of race. Its blend of humour and serious commentary makes it a complex and enduring work of fiction.

About the Author
Born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in 1835, Mark Twain spent his youth in Hannibal, Missouri, which forms the setting for his two greatest works, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Trying his hand at printing, typesetting and then gold-mining, the former steam-boat pilot eventually found his calling in journalism and travel writing. Dubbed 'the father of American literature' by William Faulkner, Twain died in 1910 after a colourful life of travelling, bankruptcy and great literary success.
