Preces apraksts: Coast to Coast: A Journey Across 1950s America Main
A year in 1950's America, through the eyes of a young Jan Morris.In 1953, Jan Morris spent a year travelling across the United States, recording her impressions in her very first book. She was then James Morris and the US was a nation unrecognizable to us today. She found an America 'bursting with bright optimism, generous, unpretentious, proud of its recent victories, basking in its universal popularity'. Globalization was still far off, television was in its infancy, the Big Mac had not been invented and the popular song of the day was 'Chattanooga Choo Choo'.With her customary exuberance and sparkling prose, Jan Morris brings this lost land of innocence and optimism to life.'One of the very best impressions of contemporary America I have ever read.'-Denis Brogan, Saturday Review'The spirited writing, permeated with a sense of excitement and discovery, makes it a delight to read. The prose sparkles, and everything the author tells glitters and coruscates.'-San Francisco Chronicle'We are lucky to have Jan Morris and her gift for transporting us to other realms.'-Salley Vickers
Describes an American identity markedly different. This book records a time of innocence in the US - when television was in its infancy, the Big Mac had not been invented and the popular song of the day was "Chattanooga Choo-Choo".
