BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP 2024-2025 

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain - presented by NBPL Foundation

October 9, 2024

“Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” is a classic American novel that follows the journey of a young boy named Huck Finn as he escapes from his abusive father and travels down the Mississippi River. Alongside his companion, Jim, a runaway slave, Huck encounters a series of adventures that challenge his moral beliefs and societal norms. The novel, set in the pre-Civil War South, serves as a powerful critique of racism and slavery, while also celebrating the themes of friendship, freedom, and the quest for personal identity.
