The adventures of huckleberry finn (Immortal Illustrated Classics)

The series of “Immortal Illustrated Classics” which fascinated readers for centuries has been retold for young readers with catchy & lively illustrations.

Huck is the son of the town’s vagrant drunkard, “Pap” Finn. Sleeping on doorsteps when the weather is fair, in empty hogsheads during storms, and living off of what he receives from others, Huck lives the life of a destitute vagabond. The author metaphorically names him “the juvenile pariah of the village”. Huck is an archetypal innocent, able to discover the “right” thing to do despite the prevailing theology and prejudiced mentality of the South of that era. The best example of this is his decision to help Jim escape slavery, even though he believes he will go to hell for it.
