American Notes
'American Notes' Summary
In 'American Notes,' Rudyard Kipling, renowned for works like 'The Jungle Book,' offers a unique perspective on the United States during his visit in the 1880s. As an Anglo-Indian Imperialist, Kipling's observations are colored by his own cultural background, often expressing astonishment at American customs and freedoms. He tackles themes of American democracy, the role of women in society, and the realities of racial inequality in the 'land of the free.' Kipling's candid and sometimes controversial views provide a fascinating glimpse into America during a period of significant change.Book Details
