《哈克贝里·费恩历险记》是《汤姆·索耶历险记》的姊妹篇。故事发生在19世纪30-40年代的美国密西西比河中下游地区，由小说中的主人公哈克贝里·费恩自叙。于是，就演绎了一场历险记，本书内容曲折离奇、扣人心弦。书中采取英汉对照，方便读者了解原文，提高英文水平。

It did seem a powerful long time before Jim's light showed up;and when it did show,it looked like it was a thousand mile off.By the time I got there the sky was beginning to get a little gray in the east;so we struck for an island,and hid the raft,and sunk the skiff,and turned in and slept like dead people.
