Autor Mark Twain
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 1880
"That's the difference between governments and individuals. Governments don't care, individuals do." -Mark Twain, A Tramp Abroad (1880) A Tramp Abroad (1880), by Mark Twain, is about his travels with his friend Joseph Twichell through the German Black Forest, the Swiss Alps, and Italy. The storyteller, Twain, acts as a typical American tourist of the time touring Europe, believing that he understands the continent when in reality he doesn't at all. This replica of the original 1880 edition of A Tramp Abroad, containing 328 illustrations by several artists, including True W. Williams, Walter Francis Brown, Benjamin Henry Day, William Wallace Denslow and also Mark Twain himself, offers a very amusing read even one hundred and twenty years after its initial publication.

Notă biografică

Born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in 1835, Mark Twain spent his youth in Hannibal, Missouri, which forms the setting for his two greatest works, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Trying his hand at printing, typesetting and then gold-mining, the former steam-boat pilot eventually found his calling in journalism and travel writing. Dubbed 'the father of American literature' by William Faulkner, Twain died in 1910 after a colourful life of travelling, bankruptcy and great literary success.
