Fairly easy to read. Illustrated. Produced by Anonymous Volunteers, John Greenman and David Widger "A Tramp Abroad — Volume 05" by Mark Twain is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The work reflects Twain's humorous observations and experiences as he journeys through Europe, particularly focusing on the Alps and Switzerland. The narrative likely captures Twain’s trademark wit as he describes the landscapes, encounters with fellow travelers, and the peculiarities of European culture. The opening of this volume introduces readers to a comical and somewhat chaotic morning as the narrator and his companion, Harris, prepare to witness the famous alpine sunrise at Rigi-Kulm. Their plans quickly go awry as they mistakenly anticipate the sunrise in the wrong direction, resulting in them arriving too late to see the spectacle. The narration mixes humor and rich descriptions as they encounter tourists returning from the view, setting the tone for a journey filled with amusing misadventures and detailed observations of the scenery and culture surrounding them. The author captures the essence of travel's unpredictability and the camaraderie it can foster amidst mishaps.
