Description
The Innocents Abroad, a humorous travelogue, recounts Mark Twain's 1867 journey from New York City to Europe and the Holy Land. Twain's witty observations of the 'Old World' showcase his energy and humour, as he responds to the great paintings and sculptures of the 'Old Masters' with wonder, amazement, and exasperation.
First-hand accounts of his experiences in Paris, Milan, Florence, Venice, Pompeii, Constantinople, Sebastopol, Balaklava, Damascus, Jerusalem, Nazareth, and Bethlehem offer a unique perspective on the region. Twain's travelogue is a testament to his boundless curiosity and his ability to find humour in even the most unexpected situations.
