Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is one of Mark Twain's best-known and most important novels. The novel tells the story of Huckleberry Finn's escape from his alcoholic and abusive father and Huck's adventurous journey down the Mississippi River together with the runaway slave Jim. Huck desires to break free from the constraints of society, both physical and mental, while Jim is fleeing a life of literal enslavement.

I deeply love Mark Twain’s “Huckleberry Finn.” However, if they were alive today Tom Sawyer would have been a Proud Boy breaking into the Capital on January 6. Huck is closer to Brad Ratffensperger not allowing the steal but a rabid Trump supporter & extreme loyalist Republican

“Hemingway said that all American fiction comes from Huckleberry Finn. That’s true, in the sense that Mark Twain invented a way of looking at the American experience and putting it into fiction. He is for Americans as important as Chaucer might be for us.” https://t.co/62eyDNbNIj
