- first
Hartford: American Publishing Company, 1880. First edition, rare first state with “Moses” opposite the engraved portrait of Twain, and with the text sheets in state A (bulking to 1 5/8"). Profusely illustrated throughout by Brown, Williams, Day and others and with original illustrations by Twain himself. Thick 8vo, publisher's original brown cloth, the boards framed in blind, the upper board with central vignette in gilt, the lower with publisher's mark in blind, the spine gilt lettered and decorated, light buff endpapers. xvi, 631, 1pp ads. A good and honest copy in full contemporary state without repair or restoration. The textblock just a bit mellowed and with no foxing or stains, the hinges solid and unbroken, the brown cloth with a bit of age or shelf-wear at the edges and tips, the spine slightly mellowed as usual, but a nice survival in original state. FIRST EDITION OF THIS SPLENDID READ BY MARK TWAIN, copies with the first state of the 'Moses' plate are scarce, and the book is only rarely found in better condition unless repairs or restorations have been made. It has been said of Twain’s writing in this genre, that “in (a) sense, all of (the author’s) work is like a journey, if not, as in the case of HUCKLEBERRY FINN, the actual account of a journey.
The seemingly formless form of Twain’s most typical work is both that of storytelling and travel; for like storytelling travel is made up of episodic events and encounters.” In A TRAMP ABROAD, Twain is discovering himself as a new man in a new place in time, “just as in ROUGHING IT, in its drive West, reveals its protagonist in a series of apprenticeships until he finds himself to be none other that the author in his achieved identity of Mark Twain, so HUCKLEBERRY FINN...reveals its protagonist in a series of initiations until he finds himself to be none other than...Tom Sawyer.”
Of these journeys, Twain was the master, seemingly never in doubt of himself or where he was going. He had been a riverboat captain and could steer a boat up or down the river through snags or chutes, around islands and bends. And so steering his imagination and ours was somehow no difficulty for this giant of the prose form.
This book is an experience in time travel and a splendid read for any of us serious about finding something special in the reading Mark Twain and great American literature.
