About this ebook

Les Aventures de Huckleberry Finn est un roman picaresque de l'Américain Mark Twain, paru à Londres le 4 décembre 1884 sous le titre The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, puis à New York en février de l'année suivante sous le titre Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Le narrateur est un jeune garçon qui fuit la « sivilisation » en compagnie d'un esclave échappé. Il raconte leur errance de près de 1 800 kilomètres sur un radeau descendant le Mississippi. Le regard ingénu que pose l'enfant sur les tares des civilisés rencontrés nourrit la satire virulente d'une société hypocrite, qui inverse les notions de bien et de mal.

Mark Twain

Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born in Missouri in 1835, the son of a lawyer. Early in his childhood, the family moved to Hannibal, Missouri – a town which would provide the inspiration for St Petersburg in Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. After a period spent as a travelling printer, Clemens became a river pilot on the Mississippi: a time he would look back upon as his happiest. When he turned to writing in his thirties, he adopted the pseudonym Mark Twain ('Mark Twain' is the cry of a Mississippi boatman taking depth measurements, and means 'two fathoms'), and a number of highly successful publications followed, including The Prince and the Pauper (1882), Huckleberry Finn (1884) and A Connecticut Yankee (1889). His later life, however, was marked by personal tragedy and sadness, as well as financial difficulty. In 1894, several businesses in which he had invested failed, and he was declared bankrupt. Over the next fifteen years – during which he managed to regain some measure of financial independence – he saw the deaths of two of his beloved daughters, and his wife. Increasingly bitter and depressed, Twain died in 1910, aged seventy-five.
