About this book
Creators: Mark Twain (1835-1910) "A Tramp Abroad" by Mark Twain is a work of travel literature published in 1880. The book follows Twain and his companion Harris through Germany, the Alps, and Italy, ostensibly on foot—though they frequently find other means of transport. Twain plays the classic American tourist, confidently misunderstanding everything he encounters. Blending autobiography with fiction, humorous observations with invented German legends, and narratives with satirical essays on topics like "The Awful German Language," this fourth travel book offers a comedic journey through nineteenth-century Europe's landscapes and customs.
