What is A Comedian Sees the World about?

Film star Charlie Chaplin spent February 1931 through June 1932 touring Europe, during which time he wrote a travel memoir entitled "A Comedian Sees the World." This memoir was published as a set of five articles in Women's Home Companion from September 1933 to January 1934 but until now had never been published as a book in the U.S. In presenting the first edition of Chaplin's full memoir, Lisa Stein Haven provides her own introduction and notes to supplement Chaplin's writing and enhance the narrative. Haven's research revealed that "A Comedian Sees the World" may very well have been Chaplin's first published composition, and that it was definitely the beginning of his writing career. It also marked a transition into becoming more vocally political for Chaplin, as his subsequent writings and films started to take on more noticeably political stances following his European tour. 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, Modern Times (1936), The Great Dictator (1940), Monsieur Verdoux (1947),
