The Innocents Abroad
ByPublisher Description
Praised as "an oasis in the desert of works on foreign travel" by the New York Herald, When it was initially released, ‘The Innocents Abroad’ was a huge hit and went on to become the best-selling book of Mark Twain's writing career. During a tour to Europe and the Holy Land in 1867, the author makes incisive and frequently humorous remarks about the people and places he encounters. This portrays the author at the pinnacle of his writing abilities.
The book, which began as a collection of travel essays written for a San Francisco newspaper, offers readers a vivid and refreshingly honest look at cities like Tangier, Marseilles, Gibraltar, Rome, Constantinople, and Damascus. When it comes to travelers who define their trip experiences more through travel guides than through firsthand observations, Twain's comedy adopts an especially scathing tone. The book blends humorous chapters with somber sections on statistics, history, and descriptions of artwork, buildings, and holy treasures.
