Title Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINNAdventures of Huckleberry Finn (or, in more recent editions, The Adventures of Finn Huckleberry) is a Mark Twain novel, first published in the United Kingdom in December 1884 and in the United States in February 1885. Commonly named Great American Novels, the work is among the first in major American literature to be written throughout vernacular English, characterized by local regionalism of color. It is said in the first person by Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, a friend of Tom Sawyer the narrator of two other Twain novels (Tom Sawyer abroad and Tom Sawyer, detective). This is a direct sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.The book is known for its colorful depiction of people and places along the Mississippi River. Located in a pre - war Southern society that had ceased to exist about 20 years before the publication of the work, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an often scathing satire about entrenched attitudes, especially racism.Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has always been the subject of studies by literary critics since its publication. The book was widely criticized during the release because of its heavy use of foul language. Throughout the twentieth century, and despite the arguments that the protagonist and tenor of the book are anti-racist, criticism of the book continued due to its perceived use of racial stereotypes and its frequent use of racial insult.

Among his novels are The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and his sequel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), the latter often called "The Great American Novel".Twain was raised in Hannibal, Missouri, who later provided the framework for Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. He apprenticed with a printer and then worked as a typographer, contributing articles to the journal of his older brother, Orion Clemens. He later became a riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River before heading west to Orion in Nevada. He spoke humorously about his lack of success in mining, turning to journalism for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise. His humorous story, "The Jumping Jumping Frog of Calaveras County", was published in 1865, based on a story he heard at Angels Hotel in Angels Camp, California where he had spent some time as a minor. The news has attracted international attention and has even been translated into French. His wit and satire, in prose and in speech, earned praise from critics and peers, and he was a friend to presidents, artists, industrialists, and European royalty.Twain has earned a lot of money from his writings and lectures, but he has invested in companies that have lost most - including Paige Compositor, a mechanical typographer who has failed because of its complexity and inaccuracy. He went bankrupt as a result of these financial setbacks, but he eventually overcame his financial problems with the help of Henry Huttleston Rogers. He chose to pay all his creditors in full before the bankruptcy, even though he had no legal responsibility in this regard.Twain was born shortly after the appearance of Halley's Comet, and he predicted that he would "come out with" too; he died the day after the return of the comet. He was hailed as "the greatest humorist in this country" and William Faulkner called him "the father of American literature".
