"Europe After 8:15" by H. L. Mencken, George Jean Nathan, and Willard Huntington Wright is a humorous early 20th-century travelogue that observes Europe through the eyes of American tourists. Opening high in the Alps near Innsbruck, two American men exchange witty banter about their misadventures traveling Europe, covering topics like the high cost of cruise ships and the strange food. The book likely continues with similar essays, balancing stunning European scenery with the characters' sharp observations and cultural misunderstandings during their travels.
