It took him seven years to complete the Adventures of Huckleberry
Despite being regarded as the first great American novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn wasn't easy to write. It took him seven years to complete the Adventures of Huckleberry, which is one of the interesting facts about Mark Twain. He began writing the book in 1876, but the project was put on hold for a while because it didn't go well at first. After finishing roughly 400 pages, he admitted to a friend that he only "tolerably well" loved the work so far and might "pigeonhole or destroy" the book. After putting the project on hold for a while, he ultimately finished it in 1883 after experiencing a creative flash.
"Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," which is set in the antebellum South, tells the tale of the titular character, a young misfit who rafts down the Mississippi River with Jim, a fugitive slave. In Mark Twain's 1876 book "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," Huck Finn made his literary debut as Sawyer's companion. Tom Blankenship, a youngster Twain knew growing up in Hannibal and who was four years older than him, served as the inspiration for Huck Finn. His father, a worker, had a history of being a local alcoholic, and Blankenship's family was not wealthy. In Huckleberry Finn, I drew Tom Blankenship precisely as he was, as Twain stated in his autobiography. He lacked education, was poorly nourished, and unclean, yet his heart was as pure as any boy's ever was. What happened to Blankenship later in life is unknown. Although Twain claimed to have heard a tale about Blankenship becoming a justice of the peace in Montana, other versions contend that he was either imprisoned for thievery or passed away from cholera.
The fact that "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" has generated controversy since its publication is undeniable. The Concord, Massachusetts public library forbade the book just one month after its 1885 release due to claims of harsh language and a lack of moral character. The book was removed from certain school reading lists in the decades that followed after it was labeled racist by critics in the middle of the 20th century. However, a lot of academics claim that the work is a critique of racism.
