As America's finest writer, Mark Twain could make entertaining
reading -- and great literature -- out of almost anything. Here we
have a book begun out of adversity. The great novelist, satirist,
and public celebrity was broke, ruined by various ill-advised
investment schemes; but, being a man of honor on a public stage, he
resolved to pay off every cent of his crushing debt. He did so by
going on a two-year, round-the-world lecture tour, where he spoke
to sold-out houses in Europe, India, and Australia, all the while
gathering material for yet another best-selling travel book, filled
with his trademark wit and brilliant observation. Even after more
than a century this book is still a must-read. Whatever has been
forgotten about the times and places Twain describes he has
recreated for us, vividly and forever.
