The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Mark Twain

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is at once Mark Twain`s most celebrated and most controversial work. The novel earned more money for the author than any other of his novels, outselling even The Adventures of Tom Sawyer; yet from the start it fell under the stern gaze of censors who objected to its coarse language and bad grammar. In the latter half of the twentieth-century it faced fresh criticism and was removed from schools and public libraries by those who leveled accusations of racism against its author.
