Set as the sequel to the classic American novel by Mark Twain, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has earned its rightful place as an icon in literary history. Poised as one of the first novels to attract the American masses with its readable text style, Mark Twain wrote about the controversial subject matter regarding the unlikely friendship between a boy and a fugitive slave.

After a life-changing adventure with his comrade, Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, "Huck," as he's known, must figure out how to deal with his new life in the aftermath of finding a significant amount of money along the banks of the Mississippi River. Protecting what's rightfully his, Huck keeps the money in a trust, tucked away from his drunken father. With the weight of numerous county judges siding with the responsibility of Huck's father in securing the money, Huck fears his life of independence has been hopelessly squandered.

Forced to endure confinement and relentless abuse, Huck takes matters into his own hands, leading him on the adventure, and a new friendship of a lifetime. Scared, lonely, and fiercely independent, Huck Finn must learn that in order to survive he must become comfortable with the uncomfortable. Huck must learn to trust those around him, and most importantly, to be brave in the face of extreme hardship.

With an eye-catching new cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this version of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is modern and readable.

– 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.
