A Tramp Abroad: Mark Twain

Twain`s account of travelling in Europe, A TRAMP ABROAD (1880), sparkles with the author`s shrewd observations and highly opinionated comments on Old World culture, and showcases his unparalleled ability to integrate humorous sketches, autobiographical tidbits, and historical anecdotes in a consistently entertaining narrative. Cast in the form of a walking tour through Germany, Switzerland, France and Italy, A TRAMP ABROAD includes among its adventures a voyage by raft down the Neckar and an ascent of Mount Blanc by telescope, as well as the author`s attempts to study art - a wholly imagined activity Twain `authenticated` with his own wonderfully primitive pictures included in this volume.
