Publisher's Synopsis

"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.
