Bound on a lecture trip around the world, Mark Twain turns his keen satiric eye to foreign lands in Following the Equator.

This vivid chronicle of a sea voyage on the Pacific Ocean displays Twain's eye for the unusual, his wide-ranging curiosity, and his delight in embellishing the facts. The personalities of the ship's crew and passengers, the poetry of Australian place-names, the success of women's suffrage in New Zealand, an account of the Sepoy Mutiny, and reflections on the Boer War as an expression of imperialistic morality, among other topics, are the focus of his wry humor and redoubtable powers of observation.

Following the Equator is an evocative and highly unique American portrait of 19-century travel and customs.

Frankly, I was expecting more from such a famous author. Nonetheless this is definitely an insight into the world at the time, albeit deeply lensed by a biased, Anglocentric viewpoint. To be fair to Twain he does admit to this openly.

Fairly good narration, with the exception of butchering a number of names and locations (speaking only on the ones that I am familiar with). Some research into pronunciations would seem a standard starting point?

An interesting perspective into the the world of late 19th century.
