The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published in 1885 and is a sequel(续集）to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. At the end of the story, Tom and his best friend Huck found a lot of money in a cave and were allowed to keep it. Huck starts his story by describing what has happened to him since then.
Many people consider Huckleberry Finn to be one of the ‘great American novels’. However, when it first came out it was banned by some libraries and schools. People thought that Huck, a young boy and the main character, wasn’t a good example for children because he lied, stole and used bad language. Later, in the second half of the twentieth century, the novel was criticized for its racist language.
In the novel Twain attacks many of the traditions of the southern states of the USA, through the eyes of the main character, the reader sees and judges the South, its faults and its good qualities.
Several themes run through the story. Perhaps the most important one is slavery, which was finally abolished in all American states in 1865. Another is freedom. Both Huck and Jim want to be free—Jim from slavery and Huck from the society that wants to control him. A third is friendship. The adventures that Jim and Huck share on the river bring them closer together. The fact that Jim is black and a slave is no longer important and they become good friends. Jim helps Huck and Huck helps Jim in return.
