Description: 8vo. Pp. 7-712. Frontis. photograph of the author on the deck of a steamship, Illustrated throughout with black & white illustrations, sketches, and photographs. Attractively bound in blue cloth with spine stamped with gilt lettering; front cover features a mounted color illustration of an elephant bordered with gilt flourishes. Loss to lower quarter of illustration; top edge a bit dust-soiled; slight wear to edges of cloth. Withal, a tight, well preserved copy. First published in 1897, and sometimes titled More Tramps Abroad. The frontis. features a caption facsimile of Twain's handwriting: "Be good and you will be lonesome - Mark Twain."If travel books constitute a comfy substitute for the actual effort of travelling, the armchair voyager is doubly rewarded with not only Twain's acute and humorous observations, but the experience of traveling during the late-Victorian era.In writing about the bright, poetic clothing in Sri Lanka (Ceylon of Twain's day), he writes of seeing Ceylonese girls, from a Christian missionary school, wearing European uniforms: ''I looked at my womenfolk's clothes . . . and was ashamed to be seen in the street with them. Then I looked at my own clothes, and was ashamed to be seen in the street with myself.'' Such is the ability of Twain to impart his view, along with a critique of Western imperialism.A presentable copy, now protected with a clear, removable archival jacket.
