Following the Equator

Following the Equator by Twain, Mark. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781420931204.

The classic travelogue of one of Americas most famous authors, Mark Twain, "Following the Equator" was written when having fallen upon hard times financially, Twain found himself compelled to take a tour of the British Empire in 1895 and write about it. This is that account, published in 1897; it is a classic example of Twains ever vigilant observational wit. He addresses such important and still ever timely topics as racism, imperialism and religion.
