Huck fakes his own death to escape his father and heads down the Mississippi on a raft with Jim, a man escaping slavery. The shore brings feuding families, two confidence men and a stream of people whose respectability does not survive inspection.

Twain gave the narration entirely to Huck’s own voice, which is why the book is usually called the start of modern American fiction. Its central moment is Huck deciding to be damned rather than betray Jim.
