The Innocents Abroad (Fully Illustrated Edition)

Book Synopsis: THE INNOCENTS ABROAD - FULLY ILLUSTRATED EDITION

The Innocents Abroad details Mark Twain's journey on the very first cruise from the United States. And what a cruise! It was a six-month grand tour of the Mediterranean and Holy Lands (Paris! Rome! Venice! Jerusalem! Cairo!), crossing the Atlantic both ways stopping at islands along the way.

This illustrated edition includes all 234 of the beautiful and humorous illustrations from the original, many of which are indispensable in understanding the exotic sights he describes. This is the first illustrated edition to be listed in the Kindle store.

Mark Twain was excellent at capturing the character of people and places. As one of America's most famous humorists, his satirical, subtle style brings smiles of humor and recognition into even the most matter-of-fact subjects. The Innocents Abroad was Twain's most famous work during his lifetime, and earned him his reputation as one of America's foremost writers. It's amazing how much it sounds like a modern-day cruise and is in many ways still a valuable travel guide.

(Also note that there is an expanded edition of this ebook that includes additional information about Mark Twain plus a history of the cruise ship itself with photos, which is called the "Fully Illustrated & Enhanced Collectors' Edition".)

So come journey to amazing ports on a modern cruise with Mark Twain as your personal guide, and bring the book along as a reference when you travel. All aboard!!  Read more
