A Visit to America

This fascinating book was written as a somewhat tongue-in-cheek travelogue. It is amusing, but also savage, and lacking in political correctness. It makes fun of Americans and Europeans alike and touches jokingly on hypocrisy everywhere. From New York to Chicago and on to San Francisco he travels by train. A must-read for anyone who enjoys honesty.

Info autore

A. G. Macdonell, (1895-1941) was a journalist and satirical novelist. Without doubt his best-known work was England Their England, but the success of this overshadows his other books, many of which were classics in their own way. The Autobiography of a Cad must surely rank as one of the funniest books ever written and Lords and Masters is a cutting and hard-hitting satire with frightening prescience, foreseeing the Second World War as inevitable. His American trip in 1934 is amusingly related in A Visit to America, but his other non-fiction is also powerful and beautifully written, with his highly-regarded Napoleon and his Marshals providing one of the best accounts of the Napoleonic Wars in one single volume.
