The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), the sequel to Tom Sawyer, is considered Twain's masterpiece. Narrated almost entirely in the first person it tells the story of a boy called Huck who flees his father by rafting down the Mississippi River with a runaway slave, Jim. The pair's adventures show Huck the cruelty of which men and women are capable. Huck's adventures also provide the reader with a panorama of American life along the Mississippi before the Civil War and Twain's skill in capturing the rhythms of that life help make the book one of the masterpieces of American literature
