The book of the journalist and sociologist Ada Baskina is a kind of guide to entertaining country studies. Despite the fact that we regularly watch American movies, read books by American writers, and listen to news reports that talk about America almost more often than about Russia, in reality we know very little about the life of the average inhabitant of this country.
The book of the journalist and sociologist Ada Baskina is a kind of guide to entertaining country studies. Despite the fact that we regularly watch American movies, read books by American writers, and listen to news reports that talk about America almost more often than about Russia, in reality we know very little about the life of the average inhabitant of this country. Who in the American family does the dishes — the husband or the wife? How are children raised in America? How is housing arranged? From these and other particulars, a full-fledged and vivid image of the country and its citizens is formed, which makes it possible to better understand the essence of what is happening in America today. And the lively humor, observation and sincere sympathy of the author for his characters make Ada Baskina’s book also simply fascinating reading.
