Medlemsvurdering:
"The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn" has always been widely acclaimed as the first great American novel! Quite often "Huckleberry Finn" has been seen as somewhat of a children's book by people who have not read it, however, this is most definitely a misconception! True, the adventures in the book are appealing to a younger audience as they are exiting and fun, but the book deals with many serious issues from the 19th century. The book gives an excellent insight into 19th century American life. The book begins with the money Tom and Huck had found previously, 6000 dollars. Huck's drunk dad takes a great interest in this money and adopts Huck in order to get his hands on the money. However, Huck isn't about to hang around with his abusive drunken father. He sets about faking his own death and then setting out down the Mississippi river on a raft where he meets Jim, a runaway slave. A brilliant, classic and legendary novel!

Om forfatteren

Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 - April 21, 1910), better known by the pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. Twain is most noted for his novels the ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN, which has since been called the Great American Novel, and the ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER. Twain enjoyed immense public popularity, and his keen wit and incisive satire earned him praise from both critics and peers. American author William Faulkner called Twain 'the father of American literature'.

– Denne boka er pensum på de fleste introduksjonskurs i engelsk litteratur på universitetet, og det er lett å forstå hvorfor den er blitt en klassiker. Fortalt fra gutten Hucks synspunkt er dette humoristisk satire på sitt beste. Stort sett grei å lese (noe dialekt), en rørende historie, og et flott innblikk inn i sørstats-USA på slutten av slavetiden. Huck er ca. 13-14 år, noe naiv og godtroende, men med et stort hjerte. Boken er en slags blanding av inititation story ("innvielseshistorie") og Trickster myter - episodisk i struktur (korte kapitler), humoristisk og historien dreier rundt noen som gjennomgår en modningsprosess. De beste scenene er kanskje de som involverer Huck sine etiske og moralske dilemmaer da han hjelper slaven Jim med å rømme fra slaveriet. Anbefales. MYE tilleggstoff er inkludert, blant annet tidlig kritikk og stoff om forfatteren. Meget nyttig ved bl.a. tolkning.
