La storia di Huck e della sua fuga in zattera lungo il Mississippi con il negro Jim, fino al ricongiungimento col compagno di scorrerie Tom Sawyer nel romanzo che nacque come proseguimento del precedente "Le avventure di Tom Sawyer" era tra le preferite di Ernest Hemingway, che citava sempre Mark Twain tra i suoi autori fondamentali: e non a caso, naturalmente, visto che fin dai suoi esordi anche l'autore di "Fiesta" lavorò molto duramente per riuscire a ricreare sulla pagina la lingua della strada, cosa per cui venne assai criticato.

Questo romanzo fu publicato nel 1884, seguendo le avvenure di Tom Sawyer. Infatti Huck Finn, amico di Tom, diviene qui protagonista, narrando della sua vita in prima persona. Secondo Hemingway “Tutta la letteratura americana discende da un libro di Mark Twain intitolato Huckleberry Finn”. Secondo alcuni critici il personaggio di Tom Sawyer è il ragazzo che Twain era stato e Huck il ragazzo al quale avrebbe voluto assomigliare: ed effettivamente i due ragazzi i nteragiscono come in un gioco di parti interne ad una stessa persona.
