Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE

About the story.

Huck Finn is caught between adults who want to reform him and a home he has good reason to fear. A journey on the Mississippi offers space to think, and companionship with Jim makes the river far more than an escape route.

Mark Twain sets humor and adventure against slavery, violence, and the moral habits of the society along the banks. Huck must repeatedly decide whether the lessons he has been taught deserve to be obeyed.
