Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known by his loyal readership as Mark
Twain, led a life as rich as his collection of published works.
Over the span of a lifetime, his growth from a small-town
Midwestern boy to a famed writer and lecturer was reflected in the
dozens of positions he held in the literary field across the United
States, in addition to about double the number of cities he roved
through to get each job done.
"I began to get tired of staying in one place so long," wrote Twain
in his work "Roughing It. His readers are still reaping the
benefits of his restlessness today. Here, in Mark Twain on Travel,
is a collection of his ever-astute observations of
nineteenth-century America and Europe, as he experienced them
firsthand.
As if packed within his luggage or perched atop the pages of his
journal, observe the humor in Twain's best travel writing. Listen
in on conversations with fellow wanderers, from big-city dwellers
to steamboat captains. Never departing without pen and paper,
Twain's continual movements across the continents and their
bordering oceans fueled him to share insights that made him an icon
of American writing.
