A travel narrative published in the late 19th century. The book recounts the experiences of the author, who embarks on a journey through Europe, particularly focusing on the scenic landscapes and peculiarities of Swiss culture, as well as the author's humorous observations and reflections throughout the trip. The central character appears to be Twain himself, who is accompanied by a companion named Harris. The opening portion sets the stage for Twain's exploration of Switzerland, specifically as he remarks on the church bells, the poverty he witnesses, and the grandeur of the glaciers. Harris, characterized by his grumpy disposition, offers a comical counterpoint to Twain's observations, as he nitpicks the local scenery, even finding fault with a majestic glacier. Their journey takes them toward Zermatt, where they anticipate encountering the famed Matterhorn. The opening lays the foundation for the humorous adventure that is to unfold, filled with vivid descriptions of the Alpine landscape and interactions that promise insightful commentary on both nature and human behavior.
