His enduring, no- nonsense guide for the first-time traveler also served as an antidote to the insufferably romantic travel books of the period. "Who could read the programme for the excursion without longing to make one of the party?" So Mark Twain acclaims his voyage from New York City to Europe and the Holy Land. His adventures produced The Innocents Abroad, a book so funny and provocative it made him an international star for the rest of his life. He was making his first responses to the Old World-to Paris, Milan, Florence, Venice, Pompeii, Constantinople, Sebastopol, Balaklava, Damascus, Jerusalem, Nazareth, and Bethlehem. For the first time he was seeing the great paintings and sculptures of the Old Masters. He responded with wonder and amazement but also with exasperation, irritation, and disbelief. Above all he displayed the great energy of his humor, more explosive for us now than for his beguiled contemporaries. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Twain, Mark,|d1835-1910|xTravel|zEurope. 600 10 Twain, Mark,|d1835-1910|xTravel|zMiddle East. 651 0 Europe|xDescription and travel. 651 0 Middle East|xDescription and travel. 700 1 Gardner, Grover.|4nrt 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/10025123|zInstantly available on hoopla.
