As Aventuras de Huckleberry Finn

by Mark Twain

Overview

Lançado em 1885 no seguimento de "As aventuras de Tom Sawyer" (1876), a história de Huck Finn, no entanto, ganhou autonomia: é unanimemente considerada a obra-prima de Mark Twain e mudou para sempre o imaginário dos Estados Unidos. Para se livrar do pai bêbado e violento, Huckleberry Finn procura refúgio numa pequena ilha do rio Mississippi, onde se alia a Jim, um escravo em fuga. Em busca de liberdade, a inusitada dupla inicia uma viagem pelo leito do rio, às margens da sociedade pré-Guerra Civil.
