THE INNOCENTS ABROAD - MARK TWAIN TASCHENBUCH

The Innocents Abroad is one of the most prominent and influential travel books ever written
about Europe and the Holy Land. 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. Gleefully skewering the ethos of American tourism in Europe  Twain's
lively satire ultimately reveals just what it is that defines cultural identity. As Twain
himself points out  Broad  wholesome  charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by
vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” And Jane Jacobs observes in
her Introduction  If the reader is American  he may also find himself on a tour of his own
psyche.”
