About this eBook

Author Twain, Mark, 1835-1910
Title The Innocents Abroad — Volume 02
Credits Produced by David Widger
Summary "The Innocents Abroad — Volume 02" by Mark Twain is a travel narrative written in the mid-19th century. This adventurous work presents a humorous account of American tourists exploring various European locations, primarily focusing on their experiences in France. The narrative captures the cultural differences and often humorous misadventures faced by the American travelers abroad, bringing to life the clash between American and European customs, attitudes, and societal norms. The opening of the book delves into the travelers' experiences as they adapt to life in France, humorously reflecting on their struggles with customs such as dining and hospitality. Twain paints a vivid scene where the group navigates their surroundings, from dining experiences with elaborate meals to amusing encounters with locals that highlight their cultural naivety. The travelers also visit historical sites like the Castle d'If, where they ponder the somber histories of its prisoners, and the great city of Paris, where they experience the unparalleled beauty and elegance of its attractions. Through witty observations and satirical commentary, Twain effectively portrays the intermingling of awe, confusion, and humor that characterizes the American experience in Europe.
