Title: My Trip Abroad
First published: 1922
Description: This is a book written by Charlie Chaplin about his vacation just after the first World War to New York, England, France, and Germany. It is a travelogue of the people he meets and the places he goes. Written with many humorous and serious moments. He meets other famous people as well as tells of his business deals, but it's mostly a book about his vacation and wanting to get away from the Hollywood celebrity life for a few months. Charlie would later write about this vacation again in his book, "My Autobiography," telling of it in Chapter Seventeen, but with very little detail. This book was also known by the name "My Wonderful Visit" when published in Europe, and as "Hallo Europa!" in Germany. This version contains 17 photograph illustrations of his vacation some of which are also from his films, unlike the Europe version which only contains 10 photographs.
