Publisher's Synopsis
The Innocents Abroad: Or The New Pilgrims Progress is a travelogue written by the famous American author, Mark Twain. The book is a humorous and satirical account of Twain's journey to Europe and the Holy Land in 1867, which he took with a group of fellow Americans. The book is divided into 61 chapters, each describing a different aspect of the journey. Twain's writing style is witty, irreverent, and often critical of the places and people he encounters. He pokes fun at the tourist industry, the pretensions of European society, and the religious fervor of the pilgrims he travels with.Throughout the book, Twain provides vivid descriptions of the sights, sounds, and smells of the places he visits. He describes the grandeur of European cathedrals, the beauty of the Mediterranean, and the poverty and squalor of the Middle East. He also includes historical and cultural information about the places he visits, making the book both entertaining and informative.The Innocents Abroad was Twain's first major success as a writer and helped establish his reputation as a humorist and satirist. The book remains popular today as a classic of American literature and a fascinating glimpse into the world of travel in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
