The Innocents Abroad is a 1869 travel book by Mark Twain, which humorously chronicles his journey on board the chartered vessel Quaker City through Europe and the Holy Land with a group of American travelers in 1867. The voyage lasted for five months and included numerous side trips on land, covering over 20,000 miles of land and sea. The book became the best-selling of Twain's works during his lifetime, as well as one of the best-selling travel books of all time. A major theme of the book is the conflict between history and the modern world. Twain continually encounters petty profiteering and trivializations of history as he journeys, as well as a strange emphasis placed on particular past events. Twain recorded his observations and critiques of the various aspects of culture and society which he encountered on the journey, some more serious than others. The narrator reacts to the exploitation of the past and the unreasoning adherence to old ways, as well as to the profanation of religious history. The Catholic Church, in particular, receives a considerable amount of attention from the narrator, specifically its institutionalized nature. A 116-minute television movie version of the book was broadcast on the PBS series American Playhouse in 1987 and directed by Peter H. Hunt.
