Book excerpt: Mark Twain's classic tale of Americans on the rampage gets an irreverent, hilarious makeover in this new annotated edition. Follow Twain as he tramps through Europe and the Middle East during a global pandemic, this time with a 21st-century fellow traveler in tow. This new take on The Innocents Abroad confronts Twain's 1860s attitudes toward race, making the book newly relevant for readers in the 2020s, who are still dealing with racism and pandemics 160 years later. This edition includes the full text of Twain's book, along with informative (and often shockingly funny) annotations, an up-to-date bibliography, and a freshly customized index of terms and concepts.
