책소개
This Library of America volume contains the novels that, when published, transformed an obscure Western journalist into a national celebrity. The Innocents Abroad and Roughing It (sometimes called The Innocents at Home) were immensely successful when first published and they remain today the most popular travel books ever written.
The Innocents Abroad (1869), based largely on letters written for New York and San Francisco papers, narrates the progress of the first American organized tour of Europe—to Naples, Smyrna, Constantinople, and Palestine. In his account Mark Twain assumes two alternate roles: at times the no-nonsense American who refuses to automatically venerate the famous sights of the Old World (preferring Lake Tahoe to Lake Como), or at times the put-upon simpleton, a gullible victim of flatterers and “frauds,” and an awestruck admirer of Russian royalty.
The result is a hilarious blend of vaudevillian comedy, actual travel guide, and stinging satire, directed at both the complacency of his fellow American travelers and their reverence for European relics. Out of the book emerges the first full-dress portrait of Mark Twain himself, the breezy, shrewd, and comical manipulator of English idioms and America’s mythologies about itself and its relation to the past.
Roughing It (1872) is the lighthearted account of Mark Twain’s actual and imagined adventures when he escaped the Civil War and joined his brother, the recently appointed Secretary of the Nevada Territory. His accounts of stagecoach travel, Native Americans, frontier society, the Mormons, the Chinese, and the codes, dress, food, and customs of the West are interspersed with his own experiences as a prospector, miner, journalist, boon companion, and lecturer as he traveled through Nevada, Utah, California, and even to the Hawaiian Islands.
Mark Twain’s passage from tenderfoot to old-timer is accomplished through a long series of increasingly comical episodes. The plot is relaxed enough to accommodate some immensely funny and random character sketches, animal fables, tall tales, and dramatic monologues. The result is an enduring picture of the old Western frontier in all its original vigor and variety.
In these two works, never before brought together so compactly, Mark Twain achieves his mastery of the vernacular style.

The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.
About the Author
Mark Twain was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in Florida, Missouri, in 1835, and died at Redding, Connecticut in 1910. In his person and in his pursuits he was a man of extraordinary contrasts. Although he left school at twelve when his father died, he was eventually awarded honorary degrees from Yale University, the University of Missouri, and Oxford University. His career encompassed such varied occupations as printer, Mississippi riverboat pilot, journalist, travel writer, and publisher. He made fortunes from his writing but toward the end of his life he had to resort to lecture tours to pay his debts. He was hot-tempered, profane, and sentimental—and also pessimistic, cynical, and tortured by self-doubt. His nostalgia helped produce some of his best books. He lives in American letters as a great artist, the writer whom William Dean Howells called “the Lincoln of our literature.”정보제공 :

마크 트웨인(지은이)
미국이 낳은 위대한 소설가인 마크 트웨인(Mark Twain)은 대략 75년 주기로 지구에 가장 가까이 접근하는 핼리 혜성이 지구에 출현했던 1835년에 태어나서, 그가 예언한 대로 역시 핼리 혜성 이 출현했던 1910년에 사망함으로써 신비감을 더해주고 있다. 그는 ‘미국 문학의 아버지,’ ‘미국문학의 링컨,’ ‘가장 위대한 유머작가’ 등 수많은 수식어가 붙을 정도로 미국뿐만 아니라 세계 적으로도 존경받고 있는 대문호이다. 그는 미주리 주에 위치한 미시시피 강변의 조그만 소도시인 한니발에서 어린 시절을 보내면서 미시시피 강과 많은 추억을 쌓으며 성장한다. 또한 그는 남북전쟁 전에 미시시피 강에서 성업 중이던 여객선의 수로 안내인으로 근무하게 되는데 그런 경험들을 자신의 작품에 사실적으로 재현하였다. 특히 그는 아동을 주인공으로 등장시켜 그들의 순수한 눈에 비춰진 인간본성과 미국문명의 왜곡과 타락 현상들을 유머와 풍자기법을 통하여 신랄하게 비판하고 있다. 그의 아동 소설 중에는 미시시피 강의 추억을 소재로 한 가장 유명한 『톰 소여의 모험』과 『허클베리 핀의 모험』이 있다. 그리고 16세기 영국의 역사를 배경으로 제국주의를 비판한 『왕자와 거지』, 6세기 영국 역사를 배경으로 19세기 미국의 자본주의 와 문명을 비판한 『아서왕 궁전의 코네티컷 양키』, 15세기 프랑스의 역사를 배경으로 정치와 종교를 비판하고 있는 『잔 다 르크의 개인적인 회상』 등 역사를 배경으로 한 작품들이 많다. 그 외에도 『유랑』, 『미시시피 강에서의 삶』, 『적도를 따라서』, 『철부지의 해외 여행기』, 『도금시대』 등 많은 여행기와 『바보 윌슨』, 『신비한 이방인』, 『세균들 사이에서 3,000년』 등 역사와 공상과학적인 상상력이 결합된 많은 소설을 발표했다. 또한 『인간이란 무엇인가』와 『지구로부터 온 편지』 등 다양한 에세이 방식의 작품을 통하여 인간과 사회와 종교 등 문화전반에 대한 날카로운 비판의식을 보여주었고, 특히 노예제도폐지, 제국주의 반대, 동물권보호 등 사회운동에도 적극적으로 참여한 행동하는 지성인이었다.
