The Innocents Abroad

The Innocents Abroad, in full The Innocents Abroad; or, The New Pilgrims' Progress, a humorous travel narrative by Mark Twain, published in 1869 and based on Twain's letters to newspapers about his 1867 steamship voyage to Europe, Egypt, and the Holy Land.

The Innocents Abroad sharply satirizes tourists who learn what they should see and feel by reading guidebooks. Assuming the role of a keen-eyed, shrewd Westerner, Twain was refreshingly honest and vivid in describing foreign scenes and his reactions to them. He alternated serious passages-containing history, statistics, description, explanation, argumentation-with risible ones. The humour itself is varied-sometimes in the vein of the Southwestern yarn spinners whom he had encountered as a young man, sometimes in that of contemporaneous humorists such as Artemus Ward and Josh Billings, who chiefly used burlesque and parody and other verbal devices.
