A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The ego appears in this volume with almost autobiographical frequency. To prevent alarm, therefore, a word of explanation may be necessary. The writers presence was vital to the impressions here recorded, but, at the same time, he had a double role to play. For, in addition to being his own insignificant self, bent upon his own enjoyment, he had to represent, in all things that entered his notebook, that vague, mysterious nonentity the Average A merican. It is this latter character, this alter ego, who is so talkative about his ideas and his impressions in the following. It is the Average American who sees, who enjoys, and who scoffs. It is true that no one (not even the author himself) cares about the personal ego; when he shaves, with whom he bunks at night, and how he enjoys his dinners. But when this important figure, the Average A merican, so often mentioned of late but never met, so much quoted but never heard, when he is near unto seasickness, or when he is bored, we listen attentively. Nothing in the life of this great hero is too insignificant for our notice. In this light then, perhaps the account of the Average American ssummer in Germany will seem all too brief and fragmentary. If so, it is because the true first person was too busy with his own affairs to Boswellize the hero-speaker of this tale.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
