"Europe and Elsewhere" by Mark Twain is a compilation of travel writings from the 1800s, where Twain shares his journeys across Europe and provides insights into society, politics, and different cultures. The book kicks off with a midnight trip to Westminster Abbey, establishing Twain's funny yet critical way of looking at the world; his detailed account of exploring the old Abbey with a friend turns an eerie, quiet place into a lively scene. He touches on the Abbey's old age and the seriousness of the historical figures, while also using his humor, using observations to mix the past and present together in an entertaining way.
