Beschreibung
Bill Bryson lädt seine Leser auf eine Zeitreise nach Amerika in das Jahr 1927 ein, als sich die USA anschickte die Weltbühne zu betreten und mit außergewöhnlichen Persönlichkeiten von sich reden machte. Bryson travels back in time to summer 1927, the year America stepped out onto the world stage. A gripping narrative featuring a handful of larger-than-life characters, including Charles Lindbergh, Al Capone, Herbert Hoover, Ernest Hemingway and Henry Ford. Witty asides and fascinating facts!
