Young Huck Finn escapes his abusive father and sets off down the Mississippi River with Jim, a runaway enslaved man. What begins as a bid for freedom becomes a deeper journey of moral awakening as Huck grapples with the values hes been taught and the growing bond he forms with Jim. Along the way, they encounter swindlers, feuding families, and the contradictions of a deeply divided society.

As Huck begins to see Jim not just as a traveling companion but as a human being worthy of dignity and respect, the novel challenges the racial norms of its time. With wit, honesty, and a childs perspective that cuts through hypocrisy, Twain explores themes of freedom, friendship, conscience, and the flawed morality of a society built on slavery. Both a satirical portrait of antebellum America and a powerful coming-of-age story, this classic continues to resonate with readers for its sharp social critique and timeless search for truth.
