A Tramp Abroad
Résumé
A Tramp Abroad is a travel literature work by Mark Twain, published in 1880. It follows Twain and his companion Harris as they move through Germany, the Alps, and Italy, presenting their journey as if they were traveling on foot, even though they often use other forms of transport. Twain adopts the role of the confident American tourist, frequently misreading what he encounters, and turning those misunderstandings into humor. Blending autobiography with fiction, the book combines humorous observations with invented German legends and satirical essays, including reflections on “The Awful German Language.” The result is a comedic account of nineteenth-century European landscapes and customs.
