Mark Twain 
Following the Equator [EPUB ebook] 

The classic travelogue of one of America’s 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 Twain’s ever vigilant observational wit. He addresses such important and still ever timely topics as racism, imperialism and religion.
