In A Tramp Abroad ('Bummel durch Europa', 1880) verarbeitete Twain Erlebnisse und Erfahrungen seiner zweiten Europareise von 1878, die ihn durch Deutschland, die Schweiz und Italien führte. In diesem Buch veröffentlichte er im Anhang auch den berühmten Aufsatz The Awful German Language ('Die schreckliche deutsche Sprache'), in dem er humorvoll die Eigenheiten und Schwierigkeiten der deutschen Sprache erläutert. Samuel Clemens (1835-1910), besser bekannt unter seinem Pseudonym Mark Twain - war ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller. Mark Twain ist vor allem als Autor der Bücher über die Abenteuer von Tom Sawyer und Huckleberry Finn bekannt. Er war ein Vertreter des amerikanischen Realismus und ist besonders wegen seiner humoristischen, von Lokalkolorit und genauen Beobachtungen sozialen Verhaltens geprägten Erzählungen sowie aufgrund seiner scharfzüngigen Kritik an der amerikanischen Gesellschaft berühmt.
