    　 One of the most famous travel books ever written by an American, here is an irreverent and incisive commentary on the "New Barbarians'" encounter with the Old World. Twain's hilarious satire impales with sharp wit both the chauvinist and the cosmopolitan.

    　《流浪汉在海外》，叙述者以第一人称的视角，讲述他在欧洲旅游中所见所闻。有时以真实记述的笔法，有时以讽刺、嘲笑、幽默的口吻，谈古论今，审势评述，潇洒自如。他既着眼于欧洲的时代久远、丰富多彩的人文历史，又着墨于崇山峻岭、清澈流水的自然风光。仔细读来，使我们有身临其境的感觉。
