The book is a tale of the innocence of boyhood, coupled with an artistic depiction of one of humanity’s gravest crimes: slavery. Through witty storytelling, it's a powerful critique of the social norms of the 19th-century US. No wonder this remains one of the greatest books of all time. I wonder why it took me so long to read it. I should’ve done so years ago.
In Persian:
این کتاب، داستانی خیره‌کننده ست از معصومیت دوران پسربچگی که همراه می شه با به تصویر کشیدن هنرمندانه‌ی یکی از هولناک‌ترین جنایت‌های تاریخ بشر: برده‌داری. انتقادی جدی از هنجارهای اجتماعی که با داستان‌سرایی‌ای ماهرانه و زبانی طنزآمیز روایت می‌شه. بی‌دلیل نیست که این کتاب یکی از بهترین آثار ادبی تمام دوران به حساب میاد. نمی‌دونم چرا این‌قدر طول کشید تا بخوانمش. باید سال‌ها پیش سراغش می‌رفتم

This took me shamefully long to read but that's Val Kilmer's fault for dying. Was kinda busy mourning the bloke who showed me Mark Twain.. such a classic story though. I hope I have a son like Huck one day. I love Jim as well and I love that Huck is so #woke

Yet another one that’s mainly not for me. Part of my road to reading to get to James. I can appreciate what this was for its time, and its satirical elements, especially how this narrative was probably progressive for the time. And I know this was one of the first novels written in American vernacular. But this is a meandering, messy novel that often feels at odds with itself.
I would rather never hear Elijah Wood say the n-word ever again, thank you very much.
