"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," Mark Twain's most famous novel, is an absolute masterpiece. First published 1884, the story details the exciting adventures of Huck Finn, a boy who refuses to succumb to apathy. Along the way, he encounters Jim, a runaway slave, and their explorations shake the very foundation of their shared existence. Twain explores a multitude of pivotal matters, such as bigotry, racism, brotherhood, war, religion, and freedom. While Twain's mantra has the ability to inspire lighthearted hilarity, it is the commentary on this central issues that drives the narrative forward. "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is a heavy-hearted work of staggering genius that absolutely everyone ought to read.
