The Ardis audio studio presents Mark Twain’s book “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” continuing one of the storylines from the novel “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.” Huck, an orphan with a living father, is forced to keep running, despite the fact that already in the first book his life seemed to have changed for the better. His traveling companion is the runaway Negro Jim. Moving down the Mississippi, the boy gets into countless situations, not always easy even for adults to get out of and choose the right course.
As Ernest Hemingway put it, all modern American literature came out of this Mark Twain novel: “If you read it, stop at the place where Jim is stolen from the boys. That’s the real ending. Everything else is pure swindle. But we don’t have a better book. All American literature came out of it. Before ‘Huckleberry Finn’ there was nothing. And nothing of equal value has appeared since then.”
