About This Book

La narración de viaje relata una visita extensa a localidades norteamericanas, combinando descripciones vívidas de exposiciones urbanas y peregrinajes más tranquilos a monumentos nacionales y lugares funerarios. El autor expone impresiones sobre ferias grandiosas, edificios públicos y paisajes; describe excursiones a residencias señoriales y tumbas solemnes, y señala contrastes entre el bullicio industrial, los espectáculos del progreso y los entornos rurales o ribereños. Se entretejen reflexiones sobre la virtud cívica, las desigualdades sociales, la comercialización y costumbres culturales, además de observaciones sobre otros centros regionales y comunidades religiosas encontradas durante el viaje.
