Set in Southern pre-civil war society, "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is told in the first person by the title character, a young boy traveling with an escaped slave down the Mississippi River. Despite its scathing satire of slavery and racism, Twain's classic American novel continues to attract censorship and outright bans for its frequent use of racial slurs common in the antebellum South.
