About the book: year / America, as a community of people of all nationalities, is complex and contradictory. To understand her, you need time and direct contact with her. So to speak, immersion. The tourist does not have enough time. The average American hardly tries to perceive his country objectively. He has no time for that. Another thing is an emigrant who combines both. He is already a permanent resident of the United States, but with the fresh perception of a tourist, observing his new habitat not from the outside, but from the inside. This two-volume work is precisely such a reflection of the emigrant view of the author - a professional writer, journalist, artist and sculptor. In it the reader will find a detailed and emotional description of the natural attractions of America, the ups and paradoxes of its culture. Get acquainted with the life and uniqueness of various ethnic groups, their way of life, and how they spend their leisure time. Learn how different areas and states differ from each other. And much more, including the most mysterious places and phenomena that baffle scientists.
