Paul Joseph Books

Exploring the journeys of two families a century apart, the narrative juxtaposes Mark Twain's late 19th-century travels with Paul Joseph's modern-day adventures in the South Pacific. Twain's experiences on his lecture tour and the insights from his notebooks are contrasted with Joseph's sabbatical in New Zealand and travels through Fiji, Australia, and Indonesia with his family. Utilizing journals, photographs, and humor, the book delves into the geographical and emotional landscapes they navigate, highlighting the enduring nature of travel and family connections across time.
