'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' is a novel by Mark Twain, first published in the United Kingdom in December 1884 and in the United States in February 1885. Commonly named among the 'Great American Novels', the work is among the first in major American literature to be written throughout in vernacular English, characterized by local colour regionalism. It is told in the first person by Huckleberry 'Huck' Finn, a friend of Tom Sawyer and narrator of two other Twain novels ('Tom Sawyer Abroad' and 'Tom Sawyer, Detective'). It is a direct sequel to 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer'.

Sammen med slaven Jim flykter Huck Finn fra faren, som også heter Jim. De har tenkt seg til en by hvor Jim kan komme seg til nordstatene og bli fri, men havner midt i Mississippi, i slaveriets rike.

Det meste av det som fortelles i denne boka, er enten opplevd av forfatteren selv, eller av hans skolekamerater. Det handler om to gutter, Tom Sawyer og Huckleberry Finn, og alt det de finner på som barn, på begynnelsen av 1800-tallet.

'All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn... There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since. Hemingway's comment is scarcely an exaggeration. While critics have argued over the symbolic significance of Huck's and Jim's voyage down the Mississippi, none has disputed the greatness of the book itself. What began modestly as 'a kind of companion to Tom Sawyer' grew under Mark Twain's hand into a work of immeasurable richness. In its distrust of too much civilisation and its concern with the way language turns dreamy and corrupt when divorced from life, it is a thoroughly modern novel. And more than modern in its hero, who is, according to T.S. Eliot, 'one of the permanent symbolic figures of fiction, not unworthy to take a place with Ulysses, Faust, Don Quixote, Don Juan, Hamlet and other discoveries which man has made about itself.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer , by Mark Twain , is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics : All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences—biographical, historical, and literary—to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works. Perhaps the best-loved nineteenth-century American novel, Mark Twain ’s tale of boyhood adventure overflows with comedy, warmth, and slapstick energy. It brings to life an array of irresistible characters—the awesomely self-confident Tom, his best buddy Huck Finn, indulgent Aunt Polly, and the lovely, beguiling Becky—as well as such unforgettable incidents as whitewashing a fence, swearing an oath in blood, and getting lost in a dark and labyrinthine cave. Below Tom Sawyer’s sunny surface lurk hints of a darker reality, of youthful innocence and naïveté confronting the cruelty, hypocrisy, and foolishness of the adult world—a theme that would become more pronounced in Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn . Despite such suggestions, Tom Sawyer remains Twain’s joyful ode to the endless possibilities of childhood. H. Daniel Peck is John Guy Vassar Professor of English at Vassar College and is the author of Thoreau’s Morning Work and A World by The Pastoral Moment in Cooper’s Fiction .
