Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Briton in America Ever since the days of Christopher Columbus, America has been the cynosure of Europe. The pricking spur of curiosity which drove that dauntless Genoese across the Atlantic has driven, in his wake, one unbroken line of explorers and observers. I am simply the latest - and least - along that trail. The interest of Europe in America is a healthy curiosity and deserves to be satisfied. For the Old World has much to learn from the New. In her search for Utopia, Europe has looked East and she has not found it, but found decay and death. So she ever turns again to the West, and dreams dreams, as Plato dreamt them of old, of the fabled Atlantis beyond the pillars of Hercules, where the people are always at peace with one another and live a perfect life. Then she goes to find out whether those dreams are true. In that spirit, and with such a quest, we still go: and the Americans must pardon us for our errand.
