Published in 1884, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn established Mark Twain as one of the defining voices in adventure. Huck Finn, fleeing his alcoholic father, floats down the Mississippi with the escaped slave Jim in the novel Hemingway called the source of all American literature. Twain's masterpiece is at once a picaresque adventure, a moral fable about slavery and freedom, and a virtuoso performance in vernacular prose. Themes of freedom, race, the South run through the work. The book has received recognition from Guardian 100 Best Novels 1884.
