Summary "Europe After 8:15" by H. L. Mencken, George Jean Nathan, and Willard Huntington Wright is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. The work consists of a series of observational essays exploring various European cities, particularly focusing on the experiences and perceptions of American travelers. It likely provides a mix of humor and criticism as it reflects on cultural contrasts and the quirks of European life compared to American sensibilities. The opening of the book sets the stage in the picturesque Hungerberg at Innsbruck, where two American men, engaged in casual banter, discuss their travel experiences across Europe. Their dialogue reveals a blend of humor, skepticism, and a critical view of the costs and culinary offerings of their travels, including their experiences on European cruise ships. As they admire the breathtaking Alpine scenery, they navigate through various anecdotes, touching upon the cultural misunderstandings and idiosyncrasies inherent in their observations of Europe, preparing readers for a journey that blends landscape with the intricate dynamics of travel and personal interaction.
