Following the Equator is a travelogue written by the renowned American author, Mark Twain. The book chronicles his journey around the world, following the equator, which took him to various countries such as Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa, and many others. In this book, Twain shares his experiences and observations of the different cultures, people, and landscapes he encountered during his travels. He provides a humorous and satirical commentary on the various customs, traditions, and social norms of the places he visited. The book also touches on some serious issues of the time, such as imperialism, racism, and colonialism, which Twain addresses with his characteristic wit and sarcasm. Throughout the book, Twain's writing style is engaging and entertaining, making it an enjoyable read for anyone interested in travel writing or the works of Mark Twain.There are several good protections against temptations, but the surest is cowardice. --Pudd'nhead Wilson's New Calendar.
