Gullible's Travels is a satirical novel written by Ring Lardner. The story follows the journey of a naive and gullible man named Lemuel Pitkin, who sets out on a trip to Europe in order to broaden his horizons and gain new experiences. Along the way, he encounters a variety of characters who take advantage of his trusting nature and lead him into a series of absurd and comical situations.Throughout the novel, Lardner uses humor and irony to comment on the cultural and social norms of the time, as well as the human tendency to be easily deceived. The book is divided into a series of vignettes, each of which presents a different episode in Pitkin's travels. Along the way, he falls in love, gets involved in a political revolution, and even becomes a movie star.Despite the often ridiculous nature of the events that unfold, Lardner's writing is sharp and insightful, offering a commentary on the human condition that is both humorous and thought-provoking. Gullible's Travels remains a classic of American literature, and a testament to Lardner's unique and irreverent style.The Poinciana station's a couple hundred yards from one end o' the hotel, and that means it's close to five miles from the clerk's desk. By the time we'd registered and been gave our key and marathoned another five miles or so to where our room was located at, I was about ready for the inquest. But the Missus was full o' pep and wild to get down to breakfast and look over our stable mates. She says we would eat without changin' our clo'es; people'd forgive us for not dressin' up on account o' just gettin' there.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
