The book explores the romanticized vision of America as depicted in 18th-century French literature, highlighting how this idealization reflects a longing for a bygone era. Through an English translation of Benjamin Hoffmann's original French work, it delves into the cultural and literary contexts that shaped perceptions of America during that time, offering insights into the interplay between nostalgia and literary expression.
