George Mikes esplora con arguzia affilata e ironica la condizione perenne dell'estraneo. Descrive senza esitazione l'inevitabile sensazione di alienazione che accompagna la vita in un altro paese, indipendentemente dagli sforzi di assimilazione. I suoi scritti offrono toccanti osservazioni sulle differenze culturali che persistono, anche quando le culture sembrano fondersi. Con umorismo autoironico, cattura la complessa relazione tra lui, un inglese, e la Francia, che lo tollera con benevola gentilezza.

This is the story of the life and times of a fictitious person named Dan William and it is about his experiences growing up, and living in a small farming community located in Western Iowa. It is a story about his trials and tribulations, as well as the good times in his life. It is also a story about relations between people and people's relationships with their maker. The life described in this book is perhaps not that much different from many lives of real individuals, but the purpose of this book is to tell of individual experiences, which are unique to the characters in this book, and hopefully you can relate them to your own experiences. This story is also about the times from the 1940s' until after turn of the century. I hope you enjoy it. Douglas Wallis
