"My mother tongue is Latin" - Travel notes of a cosmopolitan. Sir Peter is on the road again, sharing his experiences and encounters in Australia, India, Thailand, South Africa, Canada, the USA, Russia, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, and Austria. "Are you planning a violent overthrow of the American government?" he is asked upon his arrival in New York. "I always felt honored by this question, as I wouldn't even know how to go about it." In Bombay, he marvels at a matchmaker who specializes in difficult cases: "Every defect welcome," reads his business card. And in Rome, he gives a speech at the festive reopening of the Villa Aurea, which was built under Emperor Nero. "Quo Vadis?" had previously been shown on a giant screen in Piazza del Popolo.
