Open Library OL53918W

A Tramp Abroad details a journey by the author, with his friend Harris (a character created for the book, and based on his closest friend, Joseph Twichell), through central and southern Europe. While the stated goal of the journey is to walk most of the way, the men find themselves using other forms of transport as they traverse the continent.

About the author

Twain’s river books look like boyhood adventures and keep turning into arguments about conscience, fraud, and American speech. Huckleberry Finn is the one that refuses a tidy moral. More of this shelf for Mark Twain.
