1880 1st ed Mark Twain A Tramp Abroad Travel Illustrated Satire Alps CLASSIC



“Thats the difference between governments and individuals. Governments dont care, individuals do.”

– Mark Twain, A Tramp Abroad



This Mark Twain novel, “A Tramp Abroad is a natural extension of The Innocents Abroad as a travel narrative, a return to the Old World. As a cultural document, it is also a natural continuation of the great popular movement of tourism, wherein the innocent becomes a tramp.” (Melton,78). This adventure voyages book is not one of Twains finer works, as many readers feel he rambles and lacks a sense of direction, but by writing with a sense of ironic prose and satire, “A Tramp Abroad” is still a desirable and recognizable Twain novel.



Twains third travel book describing his month-long trip to central and southern Europe in the summer of 1878 with his friend, Reverend Joseph Twitchell. A very enjoyable and humorous work, in which the author blends autobiography and fiction, facts and tall tales.
