Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-A Tramp Abroad is a work of travel literature, including a mix of autobiography and fictional events, by the American author Mark Twain, published in 1880. The book details a journey by the author, with his friend Harris (a character created for the book, and based on his closest friend, Joseph Twichell), through central and southern Europe. While the stated goal of the trip is to walk most of the way, the men find themselves using other forms of transportation as they traverse the continent. The book is the fourth of Mark Twain's six travel books published during his lifetime and is often believed to be an unofficial sequel to the first, The Innocents Abroad. As the two men make their way through Germany, the Alps, and Italy, they encounter situations made even funnier by their reactions to them.The narrator (Twain) plays the role of the American tourist of the time, believing that he understands everything he sees, but in reality he does not understand any of it. The first half of the book covers his stay in southwestern Germany (Heidelberg, Mannheim, a trip on the Neckar River, Baden-Baden and the Black Forest). The second part describes his travels in Switzerland and eastern France (Lucerne, Interlaken, Zermatt, Chamonix and Geneva).

The Annotated Wizard of Oz
Author: Lyman Frank Baum
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 9780393049923
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 570
Book Description
The first striking thing about this book is its elegant dust jacket made to look like a copper plate. But the eye candy stretches past the front cover, nearly every page with either color illustrations or distinctive frames, fleurons, and figures around the text. Not surprising to those who've taken some literature classes, the annotations following a page of text are often far longer than whatever bit of text they illustrate. But if the reader should find academicism beside the point, annotations are easy to skip because Baum's story is written in larger type. This edition is for both kids and kiddie litters, the latter interested in such tidbits as the Dorothy-type farmgirl character called Dot, Dolly, and Doris in other works by Frank Baum, and the reigning theory that Dorothy lived in Kansas, yes, but more specifically, Topeka. Reprinted from the 1900 edition with many of the original drawings by W.W. Denslow. Oversize: 9.5x10.5". Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
