Summary "Jenkkejä maailmalla II" by Mark Twain is a travel narrative likely written in the early 20th century. This work follows a group of American travelers as they navigate their adventures across the Mediterranean, delving into historical and contemporary observations of the places they visit, particularly focusing on Greece and Turkey. The blend of humor and social commentary showcases Twain’s wit while capturing the contrasts between ancient splendor and modern hardships. The opening of the book presents the travelers aboard a ship as they set sail towards Sicily, surrounded by fellow passengers, immersed in camaraderie after weeks apart. The narrative quickly shifts to their eagerness to explore ancient Athens, but their plans are thwarted by quarantine restrictions, leading to a midnight escapade in a quest to set foot on the iconic city. The initial chapters emphasize the blend of excitement and trepidation as the travelers confront both the allure of ancient history and the realities of travel, hinted at through their comedic encounters with local figures—including a somewhat foolish oracle—and their debates over classical landmarks, establishing a rich tapestry of exploration infused with Twain's characteristic irony and keen observations.
