Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Innocents Abroad, or The New Pilgrims' Progress is an 1869 book by Mark Twain. It is about his 1867 travels through Europe and the Holy Land aboard the Quaker City. In it, Twain describes the sights and sounds of their destinations, as well as his American traveling companions, and records his observations on the cultures, traditions, and histories of the countries.The book was revolutionary in that unlike other travelogues, Twain observed it from an American standpoint, and used a familiar, informal tone, instead of the other breathlessly awed and respectful books of the time. | |

Inexplicably Identical Individuals: Twain refers to every tour guide he encounters on the European continent as "Ferguson". This also counts as a Running Gag. | |

Adventurer Archaeologist: During the Holy Land leg of their journey, Twain's fellow passengers on the SS Quaker City fancied themselves as this. In real life, they were just a bunch of prototypical yuppie tourists who had a disturbing penchant for breaking off and stealing pieces of historical monuments, such as Judas' tomb and the arch that Christ walked under on Palm Sunday. As Twain put it, "Heaven protect the Sepulchre when this tribe invades Jerusalem!" | |

Covert Pervert: When Twain visited France and the Can Can Dancers, he mentioned he was shocked and covered his eyes at such a scene — but peeked through his fingers. Keep in mind, real Can Can Dancers didn't wear any underwear. | |
