Following the Equator, Part 6

Mark Twain's travelogue offers a keen social commentary as he embarks on a tour of the British Empire to escape significant debt. At age 60, he utilizes this journey not only for exploration but also as a platform for lectures. The narrative is enriched with illustrations from notable artists, enhancing the reader's experience. Originally published in 1897, it reflects Twain's wit and observations on society, making it both a personal journey and a broader critique of the world he encountered.
