KD Weeks, Emmanuel Ackerman and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "Europe and Elsewhere" by Mark Twain is a collection of travel essays and commentaries written in the late 19th century. The work reflects Twain's observations and experiences from his travels throughout Europe and addresses various themes including culture, politics, and social issues. The opening chapter introduces readers to a memorable midnight visit to Westminster Abbey, setting the stage for Twain's blend of humor and incisive critique. At the start of "Europe and Elsewhere," Twain recounts a late-night adventure he embarks on with a friend, who leads him to Westminster Abbey. The atmosphere is both eerie and reverential as they explore the grand yet somber space filled with statues and tombs of historical figures. Twain's keen observations and playful commentary bring the site to life; he describes the remarkable age of the Abbey's architecture and highlights the solemnity of the figures memorialized within its walls. Through this narration, he effectively captures the weight of history and reflects on the contrasts between the past and the present, all while maintaining a humorous undertone with his signature wit.
