Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Even Better Sequel to Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.After his worthless father shows up to demand a fortune Huck has found, Huck escapes to Jackson's Island in the Mississippi River. From there, Huck and Jim, a fugitive slave, float down the river on a raft. They have several adventures and are joined by two men claiming to be the Duke of Bridgewater and the Dauphin of France, at which point things start to get a little hairy for our heroes.A satire first and foremost, experienced readers tend to find it even more entertaining, and knowing a good deal of history doesn't hurt either. Huck Finn was revolutionary at the time for including a black slave as a main character. In doing so, though, it uses the words that were normal at the time, including "nigger" as a common description — which of course isn't common any more. The novel remains widely considered to be a pillar of American literature.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The book is in public domain, and the full text is available for free at Project Gutenberg. |

Alas, Poor Villain: This is Huck's reaction to seeing the Duke and the King tarred and feathered. |

comment |
The Artful Dodger: As in Tom Sawyer, Huck is never more miserable than when he's being "sivilized". He eventually gets used to it, until he ends up on the run again, vowing to never go back. |
