As Ernest Hemingway proclaimed: "All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn. American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since." Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(or, in more recent editions,The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn) is a novel byMark Twain, first published in the United Kingdom in December 1884 and in the United States in February 1885. Commonly named among theGreat American Novels, the work is among the first in majorAmerican literatureto be written throughout invernacularEnglish, characterized bylocal color regionalism. It is told in thefirst personbyHuckleberry "Huck" Finn, the narrator of two other Twain novels (Tom Sawyer AbroadandTom Sawyer, Detective) and a friend ofTom Sawyer. It is a direct sequel toThe Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The book is noted for its colorful description of people and places along theMississippi River. Set in aSouthernantebellumsociety that had ceased to exist about 20 years before the work was published,Adventures of Huckleberry Finnis an often scathingsatireon entrenched attitudes, particularly racism. Perennially popular with readers,Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has also been the continued object of study by literary critics since its publication. The book was widely criticized upon release because of its extensive use of coarse language. Throughout the 20th century, and despite arguments that the protagonist and the tenor of the book are anti-racist,[2][3]criticism of the book continued due to both its perceived use of racial stereotypes and its frequent use of the racial slur "nigger".
