From Tantor:
Huckleberry Finn, rebel against school and church, casual inheritor of
gold treasure, rafter of the Mississippi, and savior of Jim the runaway
slave, is the archetypal American maverick.
Fleeing the respectable society that wants to "sivilize" him, Huck Finn
shoves off with Jim on a rhapsodic raft journey down the Mississippi
River. The two bind themselves to one another, becoming intimate friends
and agreeing "there warn't no home like a raft, after all. Other places
do seem so cramped up and smothery, but a raft don't. You feel mighty
free and easy and comfortable on a raft."
As Huck learns about love, responsibility, and morality, the trip
becomes a metaphoric voyage through his own soul, culminating in the
glorious moment when he decides to "go to hell" rather than return Jim
to slavery.
Mark Twain defined classic as "a book which people praise and don't
read"; The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a happy exception to his
own rule. Twain's mastery of dialect, coupled with his famous wit, has
made Huckleberry Finn one of the most loved and distinctly American
classics ever written.

From Wiki:
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a book by Mark Twain, first published
in England in December 1884 and in the United States in February 1885.
Commonly recognized as one of the Great American Novels, the work is
among the first in major American literature to be written in the
vernacular, characterized by local color regionalism. It is told in the
first person by Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, a friend of Tom Sawyer.
The book is noted for its colorful description of people and places
along the Mississippi River. Satirizing a Southern antebellum society
that was already out of date by the time the work was published,
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an often scathing look at entrenched
attitudes, particularly racism.
The work has been popular with readers since its publication and is
taken as a sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. It has also been the
continued object of study by serious literary critics. It was criticized
upon release because of its coarse language and became even more
controversial in the 20th century because of its perceived use of racial
stereotypes and because of its frequent use of the racial slur "nigger".
