Acclaimed actor, raconteur and celebrated writer Sir Peter Ustinov, follows
in the footsteps of Mark Twain's 1898 published account of his epic journey
around the globe. Blending travelogue, history and his own entertaining,
challenging observations, Peter travels through countries on the equator,
mingling with the descendants of cannibals, kings, evangelists, living gods and
the everyday people who inhabit these cosmopolitan lands.
