'Who could read the programme for the excursion without longing to
make one of the party?'
So Mark Twain acclaims his voyage from New York City to Europe and
the Holy Land in June 1867. His adventures produced "The Innocents
Abroad," a book so funny and provocative it made him an
international star for the rest of his life. He was making his
first responses to the Old World - to Paris, Milan, Florence,
Venice, Pompeii, Constantinople, Sebastopol, Balaklava, Damascus,
Jerusalem, Nazareth, and Bethlehem. For the first time he was
seeing the great paintings and sculptures of the 'Old Masters'. He
responded with wonder and amazement, but also with exasperation,
irritation, disbelief. Above all he displayed the great energy of
his humour, more explosive for us now than for his beguiled
contemporaries.
