Bound on a lecturing trip around the world, Mark Twain turns his keen satiric eye to foreign lands in Following the Equator . The first of two volumes, this vivid record of a sea voyage on the Pacific Ocean displays Twain's instinctive eye for the unusual, his wide-ranging curiosity, and his delight in embellishing the facts.
