In it, the collision of the American &#8220;New Barbarians&#8221; and the European &#8220;Old World&#8221; provides much comic fodder for Mark Twain&#8212;and a remarkably perceptive lens on the human condition. Gleefully skewering the ethos of American tourism in Europe, Twain&#8217;s lively satire ultimately reveals just what it is that defines cultural identity. As Twain himself points out, &#8220;Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one&#8217;s lifetime.&#8221; And Jane Jacobs observes in her Introduction, &#8220;If the reader is American, he may also find himself on a tour of his own psyche.&#8221; 6551286 1 12 1984 The Innocents Abroad/Roughing It total:39|5:12|4:15|3:11|2:0|1:1| 39 154 85 4 5 0 false false Mon Apr 13 14:00:25 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 14:02:47 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Thu Jan 08 19:28:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 19:28:00 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Dec 29 07:42:53 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 29 07:42:53 -0800 2008 1 0 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Jul 14 18:30:03 -0700 2007 Sat Jul 14 18:30:27 -0700 2007 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sun Nov 15 19:13:46 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 19:13:46 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 28 13:23:46 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 28 13:23:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Oct 18 14:15:36 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 18 14:54:38 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 15 11:11:51 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 11:11:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 30 14:03:40 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 30 14:03:40 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 28 17:37:21 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 28 17:37:21 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Sep 19 11:51:01 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 19 11:51:01 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Sep 18 10:11:53 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 18 10:11:53 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Oct 12 10:11:16 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 18:50:06 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 10:11:16 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Sep 10 20:33:17 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 10 20:33:17 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 07 20:36:29 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 20:36:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 14 16:45:28 -0800 2009 Mon Aug 31 14:16:35 -0700 2009 Sat Nov 14 16:45:28 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 09 09:45:05 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 09 09:45:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 05 05:47:07 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 05:47:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 19 12:39:11 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 19 12:39:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 02 18:00:28 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 02 18:00:28 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=307844
