The Innocents Abroad Summary
|
Innocents Abroad -- Microsoft Reader ebook. The first book-length work by Mark Twain, it is a hilarious burlesque of the sentimental travel books popular in the mid 19th century. Based on Twain’s letters to newspaper about his steamship voyage of 1867 it is a satirization of tourists who learn what they should see and feel by reading guidebooks. |

|
| A week of buffeting a tempestuous and relentless sea; a week of seasickness and deserted cabins; of lonely quarterdecks drenched with spray - spray so ambitious that it even coated the smokestacks thick with a white crust of salt to their very tops; a week of shivering in the shelter of the lifeboats and deckhouses by day and blowing suffocating "clouds" and boisterously performing at dominoes in the smoking room at night. |
|
|
| This book was written by Mark Twain while on a trip to Europe and the Holy Land when he was a young journalist. It was also based on letters that were written by Twain while in Europe to newspapers in New York and San Francisco. This book was written in 1869 and is a fresh perspective on the many sites of Europe. Twain's straight forward manner makes this a humorous romp, with his criticisms he breaks all barriers and finds that all people can basically relate to one another. Please Note: This book is easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher. The Microsoft eBook has a contents page linked to the chapter headings for easy navigation. The Adobe eBook has bookmarks at chapter headings and is printable up to two full copies per year. |

| Based on a series of letters Mark Twain wrote from Europe for San Francisco and New York newspapers as a roving correspondent, The Innocents Abroad (1869) is a caricature of the sentimental travel books popular in the mid-nineteenth century. Mark Twain's fresh and humorous perspective on hallowed European landmarks lacked reverence for the past, and was as mocking about American manners (including his own) as it was about European attitudes. Twain ultimately concludes that, for better or worse, "Human nature is very much the same all over the world." |
