The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a novel by Mark Twain, first published in England in December 1884 and in the United States in February 1885. Commonly named among the Great American Novels, the work is among the first in major American literature to be written in the vernacular, characterized by local color regionalism. It is told in the first person by Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, a friend of Tom Sawyer and narrator of two other Twain novels (Tom Sawyer Abroad and Tom Sawyer, Detective). The book is noted for its colorful description of people and places along the Mississippi River. Satirizing a Southern antebellum society that had ceased to exist about twenty years before the work was published, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an often scathing look at entrenched attitudes, particularly racism. Perennially popular with readers, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has also been the continued object of study by serious literary critics since its publication. It was criticized upon release because of its coarse language and became even more controversial in the 20th century because of its perceived use of racial stereotypes and because of its frequent use of the racial slur "nigger", despite strong arguments that the protagonist, and the tenor of the book, is in fact anti-racist.

"you don't know about me, without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sayer, but that ain't no matter"

O que eu mais gostei:
1) É interessante como ele coloca Huck, uma criança tentando lidar com dilemas um pouco adultos na vida, no decorrer das aventuras ao lado de Jim, um escravo fugitivo. Um desses dilemas é o medo de roubarem Jim, que ele considera como um amigo, e se deve protegê-lo ou não. O que diriam as autoridades na época sobre defender um escravo e "conceder" sua liberdade sem o consentimento de seu legítimo dono?

2) Os diálogos dele com o Jim sobre Maria Antonieta e Luís XVI são muito bons.

3) E a dificuldade para ele orar, as palavras não vinham, pois não se ora uma mentira, rs.

4) O dialeto (que eu quebrei a cabeça) é o mais difícil do livro, a grafia é bastante diferente um Old English do final do século XIX. Mas é bom para se aprofundar.
