This book recounts a great journey by ship to the Holy Land and the Pyramids of Egypt, with stops in Paris, Rome and Venice. It is a glorious adventure and a well-told tale. Everyone interested in Mark Twain or America should read it.

A funny and incite full look at much of the world in Pre-World war time. Mark Twain talks about these places as a friend would with humor and a bit of sarcasm . He describes the people as he saw them without political correctness. Something that cannot be done today. I’m going to read again.

Fascinating view through his eyes 150 years ago. Paris before the Eiffel Tower and the Sphinx before the British shot off the nose. Told with typical humor and sarcasm. Wonderful.

Full of wit and humor, Mark Twain is a keen observer of people. It was enjoyable to read about places that he visited.

Twain is the master of witty irony!
