Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Version 6) |
|---|
Mark Twain's "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is a timeless classic that follows the journey of a young boy named Huck Finn as he escapes his abusive father and embarks on a series of adventures along the Mississippi River. Throughout the novel, Huck forms an unlikely friendship with Jim, a runaway slave, and together they navigate the complexities of race, identity, and morality in antebellum America.
Twain's writing is both humorous and thought-provoking, as he skillfully critiques the hypocrisy and racism of Southern society. The characters are vibrant and unforgettable, from the conniving Duke and Dauphin to the compassionate Widow Douglas. Huck's narration is authentic and engaging, inviting readers to experience the joys and challenges of his coming-of-age journey.
While some may argue that the novel is outdated or controversial due to its language and themes, "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" remains a powerful and important work of American literature. It continues to spark discussions about race, freedom, and the meaning of friendship, making it a must-read for readers of all ages. Twain's masterpiece is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of storytelling and the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity. Book Description: |

Reviewer: Ache - May 13, 2016 Subject: No mas palabras Probablemente esta es la ultima vez que me vean caminar por la calle, probablemente mia amigos iran a mi funeral el dia de mañana, en ningun lugar logro encontrar la tranquilidad, en ningun lugar puedo sentir que estoy viva, soy un muerto deambulando por todos lados, inutil, nada mas Escuchando mi libro favorito es una buena manera de decir adios, siempre admire a hucklee,podia sentir su libertad en cada letra. ahora lo escucho y no siento nada. yo he decidido este camino,y ahora es tiempo de apartarme de el de los demas, lo siento mamá, lo siento papá, quisiera que las cosas sean diferentes, pero para mi, no hay cambio, para mi ya no hay un mañana, para mi ahora, solo existe, la muerte. espero que algun dia me perdonen. recuerden de mi solo lo que quieran recordar; no quiero vivir nisiquiera en sus recuerdos. adios. |

Reviewer: Angel - March 16, 2014 Started listening to this right after finishing Tom Sawyer and I have to say I had a really swell time with it. Although I felt it dragged on a tad bit, overall I can see why this is an American classic. Kudos to the narrator for doing a superb job capturing the characters and the mood. |

Reviewer: Scott - November 18, 2013 Subject: Review Great book great reader. Except for 2 things. 1. The story drags 3/4 through. 2.The use of the N word. Something like 200~ times. It is hard to listen to in public because of n word. But that was the time frame. |

Reviewer: Anonymous - September 16, 2013 Subject: Uninteresting The Narrator did a good job but personally I dont like the story. It is racist . |

Reviewer: User - September 11, 2013 Subject: Great Book! In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain creates an entertaining adventure of Middle America in the 1800’s – afloat on a raft on the Mississippi River. Huck escapes his civilized life when he arranges his own “murder” and turns back into the backwoods, downriver yokel he started as, and in the process springing a slave, Jim, from bondage. Huck and Jim experience life as a series of tableaus as the river sweeps them through small towns on their way South. At each stop, Huck engages his talent for mixing fact with bald-faced lies to endlessly get himself out of situations… and of course, putting him into others! Much has been written about the statement Twain is making about slavery in this book, but it’s really secondary to the story. The facts of how black people were treated in this period give Huck and Jim their license for life on the run. Modern listeners will be intrigued by the unencumbered life of the pair; they make do with coffee, fish from the river, and little else (but of course, when they do need something extra, they don’t mind helping themselves to it without recourse to money!) Huck and Jim have run-ins with desperados and family feuds and even manage to get run down by a steamboat. The adventures ratchet up when they are joined on the raft by a self-proclaimed “duke” and a “king” – shysters both, who spend their time in figuring how to fleece the public in the little river towns. And when Jim is captured and threatened with being sent back into slavery, Huck enlists his old buddy Tom Sawyer in a frenzied, desperate, and terribly funny rescue. I had to clip a lot of laughing from this recording at Twain’s sly, catch-’em-when-they’re-not-looking humor, but you can feel free to enjoy some good belly laughs at this crew of lovable rapscallions! |

Reviewer: Charlotte - July 17, 2013 Subject: Great Job I loved this book. It's certainly not the children's novel that I thought it was. The narrator does a FANTASTIC job. He is really believable, really sympathetic and clearly has great respect for the story and the author. I am so disappointed the story has ended. It will be tough to another reading of this calibre. |
