Summary "A Tramp Abroad" by Mark Twain is a travel literature piece written in the late 19th century. The book narrates the adventures of the author and his companion, Mr. Harris, as they embark on a journey across Europe, specifically detailing their experiences in Germany. The narrative is laced with Twain's characteristic humor and keen observations about the places they visit and the cultural peculiarities they encounter.
