Brief Description:
"The novel's preeminence derives from its wonderfully imaginative recreation of boyhood adventures along the Mississippi River, its inspired characterization, the author's remarkable ear for dialogue, and the book's understated development of serious underlying themes: "natural" man versus "civilized" society, the evils of slavery, the innate value and dignity of human beings, and other topics. Most of all, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a wonderful story, filled with high adventure and unforgettable characters"--
