Summary
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn follows Huck Finn, a free-spirited boy escaping the constraints of civilization and his abusive father, and Jim, a runaway enslaved man seeking freedom.
Together, they journey down the Mississippi River on a raft, encountering con artists, feuding families, and the deep-rooted racism of antebellum America.
As Huck grapples with the morality of helping Jim escape—something society tells him is wrong—he comes to question the values he has been taught.
The novel builds toward Huck’s famous moral reckoning: choosing to help Jim, even if it means "going to hell."
