About This Book

Kirjoittajan matkakertomus välittää havaintoja ja kulttuurisia huomioita Yhdysvalloista: suurkaupunkien vilinästä ja monikansallisesta katuelämästä, osallistumisesta naisten ja opettajien kokouksiin sekä kuvauksista orjuuden perinnöstä, spiritualismin ja kristillisen tieteen ilmiöistä. Matkalla tavataan kirjallisia ja yhteisöllisiä piirejä, käydään luonnonihmeillä kuten putouksilla ja ylängöillä sekä kuvataan siirtokuntien, uskonnollisten yhteisöjen ja paikallisten kotien tapoja. Teksti muodostuu sarjasta erillisiä matkakuvia ja tapahtumamuistelmia, joissa henkilökohtaiset havainnot ja vertailevat arviot luovat monipuolisen kokonaiskuvan vierailtuista paikoista ja ihmisistä.
