The book "The Lost Continent: Travels in Small Town America" — Билл Брайсон

The Lost Continent: Travels in Small Town America. Едва ли кто-то когда-либо покидал городок Де-Мойн, шт. Айова. Но Билл Брайсон сделал это, и после 10 лет в Англии, он решил приехать домой, в страну, ставшую для него "заграницей". В стареньком Шевроле Chevette, он проехал почти 14 000 миль через 38 штатов, чтобы составить этот веселый и проницательный отчет о "состоянии нации" в провинциальной Америке. С глубокого Юга на Дикий Запад, от места рождения Элвиса до мемориала "Последняя битва Кастера", Брайсон посетил множество мест, которые он переименовал в Даллард, Кому и Долдрам, чтобы их жители не предъявили ему иск или не гонялись за ним с бейсбольными битами. Но его надежды на обнаружение американской мечты утонули в кошмаре жадности, невежества и загрязнения окружающей среды.

Эта книга - безжалостно остроумная и жестоко забавная оценка страны, потерявшей себя и потерянной для него.


    I come from Des Moines. Somebody had to. And, as soon as Bill Bryson was old enough, he left. Des Moines couldn't hold him, but it did lure him back. After ten years in England, he returned to the land of his youth, and drove almost 14, 000 miles in search of a mythical small town called Amalgam, the kind of trim and sunny place where the films of his youth were set. Instead, his search led him to Anywhere, USA, a lookalike strip of gas stations, motels and hamburger outlets populated by lookalike people with a penchant for synthetic fibres. Travelling around thirty-eight of the lower states - united only in their mind-numbingly dreary uniformity - he discovered a continent that was doubly lost, lost to itself because blighted by greed, pollution, mobile homes and television, lost to him because he had become a stranger in his own land.
