The Innocents Abroad or The New Piligrims' Progress

by Mark Twain, Irina Gurova (Translator), Raisa Oblonskaya (Translator)

Overview

This ironic, witty and extremely informative story about the journey of Americans in the Old World captivated readers and sold a huge circulation. And Mark Twain himself, who first tried himself in the genre of travel notes, came to the conclusion that someone who has been living in one corner of the world all his life will never learn tolerance, will not be able to look at life broadly and sensibly. Almost one hundred and fifty years after the publication of his book, it is difficult to disagree with him.
