Book description


This book is a work of travel literature, a mixture of autobiography and fictional events, by the American writer Mark Twain, first published in 1880. The book details the author's journey with his friend Harris (a character based on his closest friend Joseph Twichell) through central and southern Europe. Although the stated purpose of the journey is to travel most of the way, the men find themselves using other forms of transport when crossing the continent. The book is the fourth of six books on Mark Twain's travels published during his lifetime, and is often considered an unofficial sequel to the first book, Innocents Abroad. As the two men make their way through Germany, the Alps and Italy, they are faced with situations that are even more amusing because of their reactions to them. The narrator (Mark Twain) plays the role of an American tourist of the time, believing that he understands everything he sees, but does not really understand any of it. This book is a two-volume book and this is the second volume of the book. The second part describes his travels in Switzerland and eastern France (Lucerne, Interlaken, Zermatt, Chamonix and Geneva). The book ends with an account of his travels through several cities in northern Italy (Milan, Venice and Rome).
