Following the Equator (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161431797)

Following The Equator is a travelogue written by Mark Twain, detailing his journey around the world in the 1890s. The book recounts Twain's experiences and observations as he travels through the Pacific Islands, Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa, and other parts of the world. Along the way, he shares his thoughts on a variety of topics, including politics, religion, and social issues. Twain's wit and humor are evident throughout the book, as he pokes fun at the people he encounters and the situations he finds himself in. Despite his humorous tone, however, Twain also offers insightful commentary on the cultures and customs of the places he visits. Following The Equator is a fascinating account of a world that has long since disappeared, and a testament to Twain's skill as a writer and observer of human nature.There are several good protections against temptations, but the surest is cowardice. --Pudd'nhead Wilson's New Calendar.
