The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer And The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn

Rated among the great works of American fiction, Twain’s classics paint an unforgettable picture of Mississippi frontier life, and combine picaresque adventure with challenging satire and great technical innovative power. It is really a great fun to look back at our own childhood as we relive Tom’s romantic exploits through his eyes and our own in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Tom, an universally recognisable classic literary hero, is an intelligent and imaginative boy who is nevertheless careless and mischievous. He along with his friend Huck Finn accidently witnesses a murder for which an innocent man is wrongly accused. Together they succeed in revealing the truth, but now the real murderer is after their life. From the famous episodes of the whitewashed fence and the ordeal in the cave to the hunt for the treasure that Joe had buried, the novel is simply superb, readable and full of surprises. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, a brilliant satire on racism, giving a taste of American life in the late 19th century, is equally interesting. Tired of the endless constraints of the so-called “civilized society”, Huck teams with runaway slave Jim. As they ride their raft down the current, they encounter many challenges. Having been taught that helping a Black, runaway slave is a sin unimaginable, Huck faces a harrowing choice between the social norm and the person who needs him the most. Owing to its wonderful story, filled with plenty of action, youthful innocence and backwoods charm, and twists and turns in the plot, reader won’t be able to put this book down before its completion.
