(0 reviews)
Of all the contenders for the title of The Great American Novel, none has a better claim than The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. This idyll, intended at first as 'a kind of companion to Tom Sawyer', grew and matured under Mark Twain's hand into a work of immeasurable richness and complexity. Critics have argued over the symbolic significance of Huck's and Jim's voyage down the Mississippi: none has disputed the greatness of the book itself. It remains a work that can be enjoyed at many levels: as an incomparable adventure story, as a classic of American humour, and as a metaphor of the American predicament.
