Adventures of huckleberry finn

In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain creates an entertaining adventure of Middle America in the 1800?s ? afloat on a raft on the Mississippi River. Huck escapes his civilized life when he arranges his own ?murder? and turns back into the backwoods, downriver yokel he started as, and in the process springing a slave, Jim, from bondage. Huck and Jim experience life as a series of tableaus as the river sweeps them through small towns on their way South. At each stop, Huck engages his talent for mixing fact with bald-faced lies to endlessly get himself out of situations? and of course, putting him into others!
