The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
By:

Regarded as the pride and joy of American literature, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a picturesque novel depicting Huck’s epic journey from boyhood to manhood and the struggles he must face living in a corrupt society. The novel serves as a sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, another famous work by Mark Twain. The plot unfolds in several locations sometime before the Civil War.

The book opens with a description of Huck’s new life as he undergoes a process of “civilization” while living with the Widow Douglas and her sister Miss Watson. Although he dislikes the strict regime of education, manners, church and rigid clothing, which are a necessity to fit into society, Huck prefers anything to his previous life with his drunkard father Pap. However, just as things begin to stabilize, Pap returns to the picture and demands Huck give him the money that he had previously attained during an adventure with his best friend Tom Sawyer. Huck’s refusal to do so only infuriates Pap. Just when things are improving for Huck, he is kidnapped and mistreated by his no-good father. After faking his own death and on the run, he meets Jim who is a runaway slave with a bounty to his name. Huck must decide whether to trust his gut feeling and help an innocent flee slavery, or view the poor man simply as property. Caught up between ethics and legality, Huck must make a decision. The two set out together on a raft, both in search of freedom and experience many challenges on the way whilst at the same time an emotional bond is developed.

Twain’s vibrant description of the places and people along the Mississippi River is one of the jewels of the novel, as well as the use of vernacular language and the presence of dialects. Moral and ethics, racism and slavery, and hypocritical society are just some of the targeted issues presented in the novel. Celebrated throughout generations, the slanted tale of adventure does not seize to spark appreciation although simultaneously stirring controversy.

Probablemente esta es la ultima vez que me vean caminar por la calle, probablemente mia amigos iran a mi funeral el dia de mañana, en ningun lugar logro encontrar la tranquilidad, en ningun lugar puedo sentir que estoy viva, soy un muerto deambulando por todos lados, inutil, nada mas Escuchando mi libro favorito es una buena manera de decir adios, siempre admire a hucklee,podia sentir su libertad en cada letra. ahora lo escucho y no siento nada. yo he decidido este camino,y ahora es tiempo de apartarme de el de los demas, lo siento mamá, lo siento papá, quisiera que las cosas sean diferentes, pero para mi, no hay cambio, para mi ya no hay un mañana, para mi ahora, solo existe, la muerte. espero que algun dia me perdonen. recuerden de mi solo lo que quieran recordar; no quiero vivir nisiquiera en sus recuerdos. adios.

Started listening to this right after finishing Tom Sawyer and I have to say I had a really swell time with it. Although I felt it dragged on a tad bit, overall I can see why this is an American classic. Kudos to the narrator for doing a superb job capturing the characters and the mood.

Great book great reader. Except for 2 things. 1. The story drags 3/4 through. 2.The use of the N word. Something like 200~ times. It is hard to listen to in public because of n word. But that was the time frame.

In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain creates an entertaining adventure of Middle America in the 1800’s – afloat on a raft on the Mississippi River. Huck escapes his civilized life when he arranges his own “murder” and turns back into the backwoods, downriver yokel he started as, and in the process springing a slave, Jim, from bondage.
Huck and Jim experience life as a series of tableaus as the river sweeps them through small towns on their way South. At each stop, Huck engages his talent for mixing fact with bald-faced lies to endlessly get himself out of situations… and of course, putting him into others!
Much has been written about the statement Twain is making about slavery in this book, but it’s really secondary to the story. The facts of how black people were treated in this period give Huck and Jim their license for life on the run. Modern listeners will be intrigued by the unencumbered life of the pair; they make do with coffee, fish from the river, and little else (but of course, when they do need something extra, they don’t mind helping themselves to it without recourse to money!)
Huck and Jim have run-ins with desperados and family feuds and even manage to get run down by a steamboat. The adventures ratchet up when they are joined on the raft by a self-proclaimed “duke” and a “king” – shysters both, who spend their time in figuring how to fleece the public in the little river towns. And when Jim is captured and threatened with being sent back into slavery, Huck enlists his old buddy Tom Sawyer in a frenzied, desperate, and terribly funny rescue.
I had to clip a lot of laughing from this recording at Twain’s sly, catch-’em-when-they’re-not-looking humor, but you can feel free to enjoy some good belly laughs at this crew of lovable rapscallions!

Subject: Great Job
I loved this book. It's certainly not the children's novel that I thought it was. The narrator does a FANTASTIC job. He is really believable, really sympathetic and clearly has great respect for the story and the author. I am so disappointed the story has ended. It will be tough to another reading of this calibre.
Reviewer: - July 15, 2013
