Finn, your Starvard guide

Ciao, mi chiamo Finn e ti aiuterò a capire questo libro.

Eccolo, spiegato come se avessi 10 anni:

Nel 1867 un piroscafo pieno di turisti americani partì per vedere l'Europa e la Terra Santa, e il giovane Mark Twain li accompagnò per scrivere lettere a casa. Questo libro, il suo primo, è ciò che ne venne fuori. Twain si rifiuta di restare colpito a comando. Prende in giro le guide, le reliquie e i suoi compagni di viaggio, e poi si gira e descrive in modo bellissimo un tramonto o una vecchia città. È un libro di viaggio che ride dei libri di viaggio, e lo rese famoso.
