Synopsis
Happy-go-lucky Huckleberry Finn hates a civilized life. But once he is adopted by Widow Douglas, poor Huck is forced to don starched and ironed clothes, attend church, and go to school. One day, Huck's missing father, a cruel drunkard, returns and kidnaps Huck for his money - the treasure Huck and his friend Tom Sawyer had previously found. In search of freedom, both from his father as well as the shackles of civilization, Huck escapes on a raft down the Mississippi river with Jim, a runaway slave. Together, they meet many strangers and crooks, whom they must outwit to stay alive and free. A classic tale of friendship and adventure, this retold version of the book makes a humorous, engaging and exciting read.

Review
A seminal work of American Literature that still commands deep praise and still elicits controversy, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is essential to the understanding of the American soul. The recent discovery of the first half of Twain's manuscript, long thought lost, made front-page news. And this unprecedented edition, which contains for the first time omitted episodes and other variations present in the first half of the handwritten manuscript, as well as facsimile reproductions of thirty manuscript pages, is indispensable to a full understanding of the novel. The changes, deletions, and additions made in the first half of the manuscript indicate that Mark Twain frequently checked his impulse to write an even darker, more confrontational book than the one he finally published.
