A Comedian Sees the World

Charlie Chaplin spent February 1931 through June 1932 touring Europe, during which time he wrote a travel memoir. This memoir was published as a set of five articles in Women's Home Companion from September 1933 to January 1934. During his tour, Chaplin spent time with numerous politicians, celebrities, and world leaders, ranging from Winston Churchill and Mahatma Gandhi to Albert Einstein and many others, all of whom inspired his next feature films.
