The Innocents Abroad — Volume 05 by Mark Twain
"The Innocents Abroad — Volume 05" by Mark Twain is part of a travel book published in 1869. This volume continues Twain's humorous chronicle of his 1867 voyage aboard the Quaker City through Europe and the Holy Land. Twain contrasts romantic travel literature with reality, lampooning grandiose travelogues while observing how history is commodified and trivialized. He encounters petty profiteering, religious sites that shatter his illusions, and discovers biblical kingdoms smaller than
American towns. His wit dissects both fellow travelers and the clash between ancient reverence and modern exploitation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
