哈克贝利·费恩历险记（英文版）

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, a critically acclaimed novel, is a classic American story written by Mark Twain. It is a sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and is often regarded as one of the greatest works of American literature. The novel follows the journey of a young white boy named Huck Finn and a runaway slave named Jim down the Mississippi River on a raft. Along the way, they encounter various obstacles and adventures, and learn about life, freedom, and society. Twain's vivid descriptions of people and places along the river create a realistic and immersive experience for readers. At the same time, the novel satirizes the antebellum Southern society that was already outdated and portrays its deeply entrenched racial attitudes, particularly towards African Americans, in a scathing light. The drifting journey of Huck and Jim, as runaways from the prevailing system, showcases the desire for escape and freedom that remains an enduring image in American literature. However, the book has also received criticism for its use of coarse language, including racial slurs, and racial stereotypes that perpetuate negative attitudes towards African Americans. Nevertheless, it remains an iconic and thought-provoking work that is both entertaining and enlightening.
