This week’s featured book is A Tramp Abroad, by Mark Twain.
This book is actually a sequel to his book Innocents Abroad, though Tramp is often praised as a better work.
Synopsis:
In A Tramp Abroad (1880), written eleven years after the best-selling Innocents Abroad, Mark Twain claims to be mad for adventure. Instead, he is more likely to scale a mountain by telescope or launch a fantasy expedition to conquer a mountain hotel. In the end, Twain weaves observation, folk tales, tall tales, and imagination into a narrative that both celebrates travel and
satirizes the traveler.
