‚The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn‘ follows the story of Huck who escapes society and challenges views of the American 19th century.
The story has many turns and entertains with humour and the naivety of Huck. Despite racist language, the book underlines that a slave is a human being such as Huck is, too. The corruption of society is addressed as well. While reading, the reader must keep the time in mind when the book was written since it contains outdated believes. Therefore, the novel provides an inside into Southern US culture. Using dialect, the text is partly difficult to comprehend.
I would not recommend this book to everyone. If you want to create your own opinion about the racism issue within the text and its reputation as the first American novel, you should give it a try.
