(Irvin Shrewsbury) 1876 1944 Cobb, Irvin Shrewsbury Europe Revised Text file produced by Kirk Pearson with help from the Volunteers at The Distributed Proofreaders HTML file produced by David Widger "Europe Revised" by Irvin S. Cobb is a humorous travelogue written during the early 20th century. The book presents the author's observations and witty reflections as he embarks on a journey across Europe, starting with his experiences aboard an ocean liner. With a lighthearted tone, the narrative explores various characters he encounters, poking fun at the quirks of both American and European cultures throughout his adventures. The opening portion of the book sets the stage for Cobb's European expedition, introducing readers to his witty perspective on travel. He humorously critiques traditional travel guidebooks filled with overwhelming facts and instead seeks to offer a more enjoyable narrative punctuated with personal anecdotes. As Cobb departs for Europe, he describes the chaotic scene on the ship, his initial excitement, and his amusing struggles with seasickness, which he confusingly attributes to "climate fever." Along the way, he introduces colorful fellow passengers, such as the reserved Englishman who takes solitary walks, a gregarious American couple on their honeymoon who struggle with seasickness, and diverse characters that embody the vibrant international atmosphere of the voyage. Overall, the opening serves to immerse readers in Cobb's entertaining travels, where laughter and keen observation take precedence over mere facts.
