A Tramp in Berlin Newly Discovered Stories from the Old World - Volume 1
Author: Andreas Austilat, Mark Twain

In the fall of 1891, Mark Twain headed for Berlin, accompanied by his wife Olivia, and their daughters Susy, Clara, and Jean. In the ?newest city I have ever seen,? America?s foremost humorist met fellow correspondents, philosophers, generals, and his new best?and secret?friend, a high-ranking diplomat. Twain, who was featured in the press as a ... more »"nut that is hard to crack", became a celebrity: he visited Berlin salons, had breakfast with princesses, and dined with the emperor. And lived through quite some adventures: He got lost on streetcars, suffered an ?organized dog-choir-club? at his first address he called a ?rag-picker?s paradise?, picked a fight with the police who made him look under his maid's pettycoats, was abused by a disgruntled porter, and nearly died of pneumonia. He even witnessed a proletarian uprising right in front of his hotel. In his six Berlin months, Twain penned stories on his everyday life in Berlin, and he even started a novel on Wilhelmina von Preußen, unpublished up to today. In this book, theses stories are assembled for the first time, together with a riveting account of his Berlin foray. This fascinating book is a must-read for any Twain enthusiast? ? Andy Borowitz Berlin is a luminous centre of intelligence?a place where the last possibilities of attaintment in all the sciences are to be had for the seeking. Berlin is a wonderful city for that sort of opportunities. They teach everything here. I don?t believe there is anything in the whole earth that you can?t learn in Berlin except the German language.? ?
