Twain's story of an orphan is often cited as the greatest American novel. 

Based in the mid 1800s before the Civil War, the novel chronicles the journey of and relationship between Huckleberry Finn and a runaway southern slave, Jim, as they flee south on the Mississippi River. The pair have a journey that bring them together and that clearly shows Mark Twain's dislike for slavery in the southern culture.
