The Innocents Abroad
by Mark Twain, Twain, Mark
by Mark Twain, Twain, Mark
Having read this book as part of a writing course examining the treatment of Islam and "the East" in Western literature, I cannot simply look at it as an example of Mark Twain's humorous writing. It is instead a book that is alternately informative, fascinating, and subtly repulsing. The racism is apparent, the disregard for other cultures is appalling, and yet Twain's force is such that you occasionally forget these shortcomings.
