Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (6P)

``Of all the contenders for the title of the The Great American Novel, none has a better claim than The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Intended at first as a simple story of a boy`s adventures in the Mississippi Valley - a sequel to Tom Sawyer - the book grew and matured under Twain`s hand into a work of immeasurable richness and complexity. More than a century after its publication, the critical debate over the symbolic significance of Huck`s and Jim`s voyage is still fresh, and it remains a major work that can be enjoyed at many levels: as an incomparable adventure story and as a classic of American humor.`` Difficulty: challenging Soft 336p
