"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Tom Sawyer's Comrade)" by Mark Twain is a novel first published in 1884-1885. Young Huck Finn escapes his abusive father and flees down the Mississippi River with Jim, an enslaved man seeking freedom. Their journey brings dangerous encounters with con artists, feuding families, and moral dilemmas that force Huck to question society's values. Told in vernacular English, this groundbreaking work satirizes racism and captures both the adventure of boyhood and the complexities of conscience in antebellum America.
