1897 Mark Twain 1^st/1^st Following the Equator Travelogue India Exploration RARE

“A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”

― Mark Twain

Mark Twain and his works were immensely popular all on their own. Such notable characters as Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn stood out above other 19^th-century literary characters, and not just in the United States. One of his lesser-known works is a social commentary entitled ‘Following the Equator’. This travelogue expresses views of racism, religious intolerances, and social oppressions prevalent in the British Empire.
