About

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Synopsis

Referring to Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, H. L. Mencken noted that his discovery of this classic American novel was "e;the most stupendous event of my whole life"e;; Ernest Hemingway declared that "e;all modern American literature stems from this one book,"e; while T. S. Eliot called Huck "e;one of the permanent symbolic figures of fiction, not unworthy to take a place with Ulysses, Faust, Don Quixote, Don Juan, Hamlet."e;The novel's preeminence derives from its wonderfully imaginative re-creation of boyhood adventures along the mighty Mississippi River, its inspired characterization, the author's remarkable ear for dialogue, and the book's understated development of serious underlying themes: "e;natural"e; man versus "e;civilized"e; society, the evils of slavery, the innate value and dignity of human beings, the stultifying effects of convention, and other topics. But most of all, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a wonderful story ― filled with high adventure and unforgettable characters (including the great river itself) ― that no one who has read it will ever forget.
