The Innocents Abroad, or, The New Pilgrims' Progress

http://digital.lib.lehigh.edu/Barcan/Output/Twain/JPEG/Bar 1121_001.jpg

The first of Twain’s five travel books, The Innocents Abroad satirizes the experiences of a group of American travellers on a pleasure cruise through Europe to the Holy Land. A blend of fact and fiction, it pokes fun at the travelogues that were popular at the time while skewering the pretensions of New World versus Old World superiority of Twain’s fellow travelers. This book is the second issue of the first edition.
