The Innocents Abroad

This book was written by Mark Twain while on a trip to Europe and the Holy Land when he was a young journalist. It was also based on letters that were written by Twain while in Europe to newspapers in New York and San Francisco. This book was written in 1869 and is a fresh perspective on the many sites of Europe. Twain's straight forward manner makes this a humorous romp, with his criticisms he breaks all barriers and finds that all people can basically relate to one another.
