Following the Equator, Part 7

Meer over het boek

Mark Twain's travelogue offers a sharp social commentary as he recounts his 1895 journey through the British Empire, driven by the need to recover from significant financial losses. At 60, he embarked on this extensive tour, strategically selecting locations that would allow him to lecture and earn money. The book is richly illustrated by notable artists, enhancing its appeal. Initially published in England under a different title, it reflects Twain's keen observations of society and culture during his travels.
