Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Tramp Abroad, Vol. 1 of 2 It was in March, 1878, that Mark Twain took his tramp through Europe, and now when in 1923 one reads again that old chronicle, the surroundings now so different that a mind more sophisticated sees his pictures not only with the eyes of expectant and credulous youth, but also with some knowledge of the countries that he describes, there might well be for one a kind of pathos, an all-pervading sense of a changed world and a youth relinquished. There have been many travellers since Mark Twain. Flying machines and motor cars, telegrams and telephones, have brought the world so close to ones door that the first sense that one has when rereading this book is that one is revisiting a haunt of ancient peace absolutely impossible now for any tired and over-nervous traveller. The author of this book was having experiences that many, many travellers have had since, and they seemed to him at the time and to his first readers the last word in modern adventure. He would never have suspected that fifty years after it would wear so prim an aspect and that all the veils and encumbrances of the later years of the Good Queen should haunt those travellers to the very deeps of the farthest fastnesses. That very primness now gives this book an added charm. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
