He describes the grandeur of European cathedrals, the beauty of the Mediterranean, and the poverty and squalor of the Middle East. He also includes historical and cultural information about the places he visits, making the book both entertaining and informative.The Innocents Abroad was Twain's first major success as a writer and helped establish his reputation as a humorist and satirist.
