![]() ![]() ![]() Gleefully skewering the ethos of American tourism in Europe, Twain’s lively satire ultimately reveals just what it is that defines cultural identity. In it, the collision of the American “New Barbarians” and the European “Old World” provides much comic fodder for Mark Twain-and a remarkably perceptive lens on the human condition. The Innocents Abroad is one of the most prominent and influential travel books ever written about Europe and the Holy Land. First edition published in 1881, this is a latter printing with the ads dated 1886. Small Octavo (7 1/2" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's red cloth with black and gilt embossed imprint to cover and spine. Xxiv+613++ pages with black and white frontispiece and 234 illustrations. Author: Mark Twain (PSUED Samuel Langhorne Clemens) ![]()
