Fogarty, C.H. Warren, A.G. Reinhart, F. Berkeley Smith, and C. Allan Gilbert throughout text. A travelogue written by Twain beginning in 1895, when we began a tour of the British Empire to present lectures as a means of paying off the sizable debt associated with a failed investment in a typesetting machine. The narrative includes indictments of racism, imperialism, and missionary zealotry. Several (rather farcical) fictional pieces are interwoven throughout.","brand":"The American Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":20798362812486,"sku":"2288702","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2288702.jpg?v=1571426985","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/following-the-equator-a-journey-around-the-world","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
