Cover of Mark Twain: Nach dem fernen Westen (ePUB)

Im zweiten Teil des Buches ‘Lehr- und Wanderjahre’ beschreibt Mark Twain seine Rückkehr an den Fluss nach 21 Jahren, bei der er mit einem Dampfschiff eine Reise von St. Louis nach New Orleans unternahm. Er beschreibt den Wettlauf von Dampfschiffen mit der Eisenbahn, die neuen und großen Städte und seine Beobachtungen über Habgier, Leichtgläubigkeit und Tragödien an den Ufern des Flusses und die vielerorts schlechte Architektur. Auch hier ist die Handlung von zahlreichen Anekdoten und Legenden durchsetzt. (aus wikipedia.de)
