Description: Huckleberry Finn, rebel against school and church, casual inheritor of gold treasure, rafter of the Mississippi, and savior of Jim the runaway slave, is the archetypal American maverick. Fleeing the respectable society that wants to "sivilize" him, Huck Finn shoves off with Jim on a rhapsodic raft journey down the Mississippi River. The trip becomes a metaphoric voyage through Huck's own soul, culminating in the glorious moment when he decides to "go to hell" rather than return Jim to slavery. Mark Twain's mastery of dialect, coupled with his famous wit, has mad Huckleberry Finn one of the most loved and distingly American classics ever written. (back cover)
