“All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It's the best book we've had.” – Ernest Hemingway

To escape from his abusive father, 13-year-old Huckleberry Finn fakes his own death and floats away on a raft down the Mississippi with Jim, a runaway slave. In a series of unforgettable adventures narrated by Huck, they encounter a cross-section of characters, from slave-hunters, thieves, and conmen to feuding aristocrats and even some relatives of Tom Sawyer.

Ground-breaking in its vernacular English language, it is still considered one of the great American novels of all time and a rite of passage for any fiction reader.
