    George Mikes s ironickým humorem prozkoumává věčnou otázku cizincství a nenapravitelnosti. S odzbrojující upřímností popisuje nevyhnutelný pocit odcizení, který provází život v cizí zemi, ať se člověk snaží jakkoli přizpůsobit. Jeho texty jsou plné postřehů o kulturních rozdílech, které přetrvávají i navzdory snahám o splynutí. S nadhledem a sebeironií zachycuje složitý vztah mezi ním jako Angličanem a Francií, která ho s dobrosrdečnou trpělivostí přijímá.

      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
