The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
Following the events of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn is under the watchful stewardship of the Widow Douglas. However, when he is forced back into his drunken father's custody, Huck fakes his own death and runs off down river. In the process, he meets up with Jim, a runaway slave, and they embarking on a legendary journey. The story is set in a Southern antebellum society that had ceased to exist over 20 years before the work was published in 1885. It offers both brilliant humor and tragedy as Huck and Jim explore moral dilemmas of slavery and freedom.
