Twain introduced the character of Huck Finn in his 1876 novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer as a partner in Sawyer's adventures. The novel has also been controversial since its publication, primarily because of its racial content, and it has been repeatedly banned by various libraries and schools. Huckleberry Finn has also been translated into over 50 languages and at least 700 editions have been published worldwide. Since Huckleberry Finn's publication in 1885, it has appeared in over 150 American editions alone and 200,000 copies are sold each year. The novel is a classic of American literature, and, many believe, the greatest work of a great author. Huck Finn, the natural boy, resistant to civilization and hungry for adventure, morally right and often legally wrong, is as vivid and familiar a personality to readers as any childhood friend. With Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885) Mark Twain developed an archetypal American hero.
