The Innocents Abroad, Or, the New Pilgrims' Progress

Twain's hilariously review of his cruise to Paris, Rome and the Holy Land. While in Paris he gets an inept barber for a shave that cuts him several times. When the barber asks Twain if he wants a haircut too, Twain famously replies "You have already skinned me and now you want to scalp me?" He meets the Czar of Russia, is in awe of the Holy Land and when it appears that his group is to be attacked in the desert," I moved to the rear to be sure that we would not be attacked there"-LOL!
Great fun and highly recommended.

"Twain's sarcastic brilliant wit is on display as he nicknames one of the passengers The Oracle who pontificates on everything but knows nothing. The Oracle tries to name great philosophers and hilariously calls them "Hippocratus and Sarcophogus"-LOL !!"
