Following the Equator, Part 5 (Esprios Classics): A Journey Around the World. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798210223517)

Following the Equator (sometimes titled More Tramps Abroad) is a non-fiction social commentary in the form of a travelogue published by Mark Twain in 1897. Twain was practically bankrupt in 1894 due to investing heavily into the failed Paige Compositor. In an attempt to extricate himself from debt of $100,000 (equivalent of about $2,975,000 in 2020) he undertook a tour of the British Empire in 1895 at age 60, a route chosen to provide numerous opportunities for lectures in English. The first edition of this book was illustrated by Dan Beard, A. B. Frost, B. W. Clinedinst, Frederick Dielman, Peter Newell, F.M senior, C. H. Warren, A. G. Reinhart, F. Berkeley Smith, and C. Alllan Gilbert. In England the book was published under the title More Tramps Abroad.
