About this book

Twain recounts a walking tour through the Black Forest and the Alps that mostly happens by raft, carriage, and train, spinning a glorious comic travelogue out of German culture, mountaineering mishaps, and his own genial exaggerations. Along the way he skewers everything from the German language—in the famous appendix 'The Awful German Language'—to Alpine climbing and European art, with irrepressible wit. Part travel book, part tall tale, A Tramp Abroad captures Twain at his funniest and most observant as a wandering American loose in the Old World. A delightful companion of humor and shrewd observation, it remains one of the great comic travel books.
