Mark Twain On Travel

"I began to get tired of staying in one place so long." So said Samuel Langhorne Clemens, known to all as Mark Twain. Ironically, the quintessential American writer spent many years of his life living and traveling around the world. Sometimes because of wanderlust, sometimes because of economic necessity, he was on the go constantly. And along the way he encountered colorful characters, strange institutions and cultures, a variety of adventures and misadventures, all of which he incorporated into his travel writing-writing that reflects Twain's matchless eye for irony, humor and, now and then, tragedy. Mark Twain on Travel is a timeless collection of some of Twain's best writing, as he catalogued the antics of what he came to call "the damned human race."Mort, Terry is the author of 'Mark Twain On Travel ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781599210742 and ISBN 1599210746.
