Set in 1867, The Innocents Abroad is a travel book that follows a group of Americans from New York City to the renowned Holy Land.

Throughout the journey, author Mark Twain uses humor and wit to make astute observations about the diverse people and legendary locales.

Described as the “Great Pleasure Excursion,” Twain and his traveling companions visit some of the most illustrious cities in the world. They make stops in Italy, France, and Greece as well as modern-day Israel and Ukraine. With each trip, the author notes the contrast between expectation and reality. He critiques the misrepresentation of cultural sites and events with notable irony and disillusion.

The retelling of a worldly expedition through an American lens made >The Innocents Abroad a massive commercial success. It’s one Twain’s best-selling books and became a staple within the travel genre. Readers will thoroughly enjoy the author’s enlightening take on the Old World and public perception.

Mark Twain (1835-1910), born Samuel Clemens, was an American writer who grew up in the small river town of Hannibal, Missouri. The midwestern setting would inspire two of his most celebrated works--The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Prior to becoming a novelist, Twain held multiple jobs including typesetter, gold miner and steamboat pilot. His first literary success came in 1865 with the publication of the short story “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.” As an author and lecturer, Twain was one of the most active and popular figures of his time.
