Overview

Was there ever another author who blended satire and social commentary with such a genuine and hilarious voice as Mark Twain? Never was this glorious mixture so apparent as in The Innocents Abroad, as Twain wittily narrates his 1867 voyage through Europe and the Holy Land. The acclaimed travelogue brought worldwide fame to its author and featured his comical depictions of his encounters at the 1867 Paris Exhibition, his experiences along the Mediterranean Coast, and his journey to the Middle East. Twain observes the culture clash between New and Old Worlds, the profiteering of wily local inhabitants, and the American travellers' bafflement at a strange world beyond the limits of their own experience. The Innocents Abroad offers insight, hilarity and truths about tourism which remain spot on today. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Classics series brings together high-quality paperback editions of classics works, presented with contemporary graphic cover designs. Together they make a wonderful collection which is perfect for any home library.
