Publisher's Synopsis

""A Tramp Abroad"" is a travelogue written by the renowned American author Mark Twain. The book chronicles Twain's journey through Germany, Switzerland, and Italy, as he embarks on a walking tour of these countries. The narrative is full of humorous anecdotes and witty observations, as Twain describes his encounters with the locals, the customs and traditions of the places he visits, and his own experiences as a traveler. Along the way, he also shares his thoughts on art, literature, politics, and religion, making the book a fascinating blend of travel writing and social commentary. With its vivid descriptions, colorful characters, and insightful commentary, ""A Tramp Abroad"" is a classic work of American literature that continues to captivate readers to this day.Much as the modern French duel is ridiculed by certain smart people, it is in reality one of the most dangerous institutions of our day. Since it is always fought in the open air, the combatants are nearly sure to catch cold. M. Paul de Cassagnac, the most inveterate of the French duelists, had suffered so often in this way that he is at last a confirmed invalid.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
