"Reisebilder und verschiedene Skizzen" by Mark Twain is a collection of humorous writings written in the late 19th century. This work captures Twain's observations and experiences during his travels, particularly in Europe, where he shares his wit and keen eye for detail on various subjects, including landscapes, cultural quirks, and social interactions. At the start of the collection, Twain sets out on an expedition to climb Mount Rigi, accompanied by his friend Harris. With a humorous tone, he recounts their preparations, the unexpected turns of their journey, and the amusing encounters they have along the way. Despite their intentions to experience an awe-inspiring sunrise from the summit, their plans are thwarted by oversleeping, leading to a series of comical reflections on the frustrations and ironies of travel. Ultimately, Twain's style vividly illustrates the blend of adventure and misadventure that characterizes many travel narratives, making it both entertaining and relatable to readers seeking a glimpse of his journey through a humorous lens.
