A Tramp Abroad
A Tramp Abroad is Mark Twain's account of a walking tour through Germany, the Alps and Italy, published in 1880. The walking is mostly a pretext: Twain and his agent Harris take trains, carts and rafts whenever possible, and the book digresses into student dueling at Heidelberg, a raft trip down the Neckar, an elaborately staged ascent of the Riffelberg, Swiss hotel manners and the paintings of the old masters. Along the way come some of his best-known set pieces, among them Jim Baker's blue-jay yarn and the appendix on "The Awful German Language." The tone is relaxed and deadpan, the narrator forever more impressed by himself than by the scenery. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
