GIVEN his ferociously radical inclinations, the writer Mark Twain has probably turned a few times in his grave to see himself widely quoted in travel brochures as saying: 'You gather that Mauritius was made first, and then heaven, and that heaven was copied after Mauritius.' In fact he simply mentioned this--in his book Following the Equator-- as the view of a local. But the enduring international image of this Indian Ocean nation remains that of a white-sanded, palm-fringed holiday paradise.
