Commonly named among the Great American Novels, the work is among the first in major American literature to be written in the vernacular, characterized by local color 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 sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is noted for its colorful description of people and places along the Mississippi River. Satirizing a Southern antebellum society that had ceased to exist about twenty years before the work was published, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an often scathing look at entrenched attitudes, particularly racism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerennially popular with readers, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has also been the continued object of study by serious literary critics since its publication. It was criticized upon release because of its coarse language and became even more controversial in the 20th century because of its perceived use of racial stereotypes and because of its frequent use of the racial slur \"nigger\", despite strong arguments that the protagonist, and the tenor of the book, is anti-racist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCharacters in order of appearance:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Huckleberry Finn, a boy about thirteen or fourteen. He has been brought up by his father, the town drunk, and has a hard time fitting into society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Widow Douglas is the kind old lady who has taken him in after he and Tom come across the money. She tries her best to civilize Huck, believing it is her Christian duty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    The widow’s sister, a tough old spinster called Miss Watson, also lives with them. She is pretty hard on Huck, causing him to resent her a good deal. Samuel Clemens may have drawn inspiration for her from several people he knew in his life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Jim, the widow's big, mild-mannered slave to whom Huck becomes very close in the novel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Tom Sawyer, Huck’s friend, the main character of other Twain novels and the leader of the town boys in adventures, is \"the best fighter and the smartest kid in town\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Huck’s father, \"Pap\" Finn, is the town drunk. He is often angry at Huck and resents him getting any kind of education.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Mrs. Judith Loftus seemingly plays a small part in the novel — being the kind and perceptive woman whom Huck talks to in order to find out about the search for Jim — but many critics believe her to be the best female character in the novel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    The Grangerfords, the prominent family of Col. Grangerford, takes Huck in until most of them are killed in a feud with another family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    After the Grangerfords, Huck and Jim take aboard two con artists who call themselves the Duke and the King.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Joanna, Mary Jane and Susan are the three young women whose wealthy uncle and caretaker recently died.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    When Huck goes after Jim, he meets Tom's Aunt Sally and Uncle Silas Phelps. She is a loving, but high-strung lady, and he a plodding old man.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany other characters play important but minimal roles in the many episodes that make up the novel. They include slaves owned by the various families they meet, supporting townspeople, rafts-men, a doctor and a steamboat captain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*** This Ebook Features Dynamic Chapter Navigation Linking for a Premium Reading Experience","brand":"Northpointe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47171816358128,"sku":"2940015767032","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015767032_p0.jpg?v=1763624162","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015767032","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
