Sobre este artículo
This is a handsome, fine binding antique set of "The Innocents Abroad" - or, The New Pilgrim's Progress by MARK TWAIN. Circa 1880's - 1890's; Bernhard Tauchnitz; Leipzig, Germany. (Though the title page states "1879," the actual date of publication is unknown; Tauchnitz used the same title page for a number of years, making the actual date of publication difficult to determine.) Complete set in two volumes. Nicely bound in three-quarter leather with marbled covers, gilt lettering and accents on the spines, speckled page edges on all sides of the text blocks, and four raised bands on the spines. The set is smaller in size - each volume measures 6 1/4" tall x 4 5/8" wide. From the "British Authors" collection - Tauchnitz Edition.
Condition:
Clean covers and spines. Some very light wear to the leather on the cover corners, and at the bottom edge of the spines. Both volumes are tightly bound with no cracks and no loose pages. All covers are firmly attached. Bright gilt lettering and accents on the spines. Nice pages with only some light foxing to a few pages at the front, and a few pages at the back of each volume...and a small stain on the volume II title page. Overall the set is in Very Good+ condition.
Sinopsis
The Innocents Abroad, also known as The New Pilgrims’ Progress , was written by American author Mark Twain, and first published by the American Publishing Company in 1869. The humorous travel book follows the voyage of Mark Twain and his fellow travelers on a retired Civil War ship titled the USS Quaker City. While traveling through Europe, Egypt, and the Holy Land, Mark Twain critically (but comically) examines both his tourist shipmates and the tour guides he encounters throughout his travels. While also famous for such novels as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Innocents Abroad was Mark Twain’s bestselling book during his lifetime.

Reseñas
El Feb 24 2018, un lector dijo:
The Innocents Abroad is an autobiography, of Mark Twain and his cruise through Europe and the Holy Land. Twain is very descriptive of life in each of the countries he visits, and the people's attitudes toward Americans at that time. He is a self taught and knowledgeable 19th century American. His descriptions of life in Europe and the Holy Land at that time are informative. Not being treated nicely, very often, by Europeans, he expresses his criticisms of European ways. His attitudes toward women are typical of that time period. In writing about the going about everyday doings, the lack of computer convenience is seen. It is interesting learning about him, and life at the time of this book. I suggest that people reading this book, keep in mind the time period, when reading about his attitudes toward others. I love his writing talent.
