Mark Twainâs tale of a boyâs picaresque journey down the Mississippi on a raft conveyed the voice and experience of the American frontier as no other work has done before. When Huck escapes from his drunken father and the âsivilizingâ Widow Douglas with the runaway slave Jim, he embarks on a series of adventures that draw him to feuding families and the trickery of the unscrupulous âDukeâ and âDaupinâ. Beneath the exploits, however, are more serious undercurrents â of slavery, adult control and, above all, of Huckâs struggle between his instinctive goodness and the corrupt values of society, which threaten his deep and enduring frienship with Jim.
