This is a classic. A Frenchman's observations about America. Still quite relevant today. Sure, it's a difficult read, but even if you just dip into it, you'll find many pertinent and brilliant observations about life in America, then and now.

Do you really want to read this? Redundant heap of theoretical observations. Only good for quoting.
