Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

248 pp. Book shows heavy use, but still a good reading copy. Slightly creased, damaged and slanted spine. Water stains cover to cover. Light foxing on page edges. Pen markings on first end page.

Jonathan Raban followed in the steps of Hector St John de Crevecoeur -- Mr Heartbreak -- and several million other emigrants to discover America and the immigrant experience afresh. From Liverpool docks he sailed to New York and travelled on to Alabama, Seattle and the Florida Keys.
