Publisher's Synopsis
Mark Twain wrote this work eight years after presenting the character in ' The Adventures of Tom Sawyer ' . Huck, educated in the moral of his time, he knows he should denounce Jim, the black slave who, under the threat of being sold, is about to flee. And he knows that helping to escape a black is " sin " and that this path " condemned ". But Huck understand the "reasons of the heart" and ignores the "moral" alleged in favor of friendship and good sense . Fortunately, history has given reason to Huckleberry Finn.
