Although Twain's travel narratives were his best sellers throughout his career, modern readers are largely unfamiliar with them. Thus, readers are not only missing some of Twain's most hilarious and insightful material, they are also missing a complete understanding of a beloved literary and cultural icon.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMark Twain on the Move\u003c\/i\u003e presents the best of these works--sometimes respectful, often irreverent and outlandish--at their most lively and captures his renowned experiences as an American tourist. And they demonstrate why Twain's greatest popularity in his lifetime derived from his travel writings rather than from his novels. Twain was always entertaining and provocative while on the move and this collection captures that fabled energy for modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Alabama Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/23\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780817355210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.48w x 0.71d","brand":"Alan Gribben, Mark Twain","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45038211236021,"sku":"9780817355210","price":25.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_4f3bfd05-d77d-424d-9e5e-93726b37763c.jpg?v=1737475096","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/mark-twain-on-the-move-a-travel-reader-9780817355210","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
