Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (World Classics Unabridged)

<p>Mark Twain's story of a boy's journey down the Mississippi on a raft conveyed the voice and experience of the American frontier as no other work had done before. When Huck escapes from his drunken abusive 'Pap' and the 'sivilizing' Widow Douglas with runaway slave Jim he embarks on a series of adventures that draw him to feuding families and the trickery of the unscrupulous 'Duke' and 'Dauphin'. Beneath the exploits however are more serious undercurrents - of slavery adult control and above all of Huck's struggle between his instinctive goodness and the corrupt values of society which threaten his deep and enduring friendship with Jim.</p>
