Publisher Description: "That is just the way with some people. They get down on a thing when they don't know nothing about it." -Huckleberry Finn (1885) Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884/1885), a sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain, is one of the Great American Novels. It tells the story about Huckleberry Finn, who together with the slave Jim, runs away from his abusive father and makes a trip down the Mississippi River on a raft. It offers a colorful description of pre-Civil War society in the American South with its people and places along the Mississippi. This book is no stranger to controversy, when upon its publication it was criticized for its rough language, and during the 20th century for using racial stereotypes. Nevertheless, Ernest Hemingway said: "All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain, called Huckleberry Finn." This replica of the original 1885 edition of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, with illustrations by E. W. Kemble, has remained popular with many readers, young and old.
