A boy and an escaped slave drift down the Mississippi on a raft, and in the space between the riverbanks, Twain stages one of American literature's fiercest moral reckonings. Funny, harrowing, and unflinching about the hypocrisy of "civilized" society, Huckleberry Finn follows Huck's growing refusal to betray his friend Jim, no matter what the world tells him is right. Hemingway called it the book all modern American literature comes from — a claim the novel still earns, page after page.
