The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain is a timeless coming-of-age novel and a cornerstone of American literature. Set along the Mississippi River in the 19th century, the story follows young Huck Finn as he escapes his troubled home life and embarks on a journey of freedom with Jim, an enslaved man seeking his own liberation. Their adventures along the river are filled with humor, danger, and moral dilemmas, as Huck grapples with the conflict between society’s expectations and his own sense of right and wrong.
