Американская

Американский опыт раскрывается через голоса, которые ставят под сомнение, воспевают и осмысляют идеалы, институты и постоянно меняющуюся идентичность нации. Эти произведения охватывают как масштабную панораму американской истории, так и сокровенные истории её людей — от политических манифестов и культурных комментариев до личных эссе и региональных повествований.

Worth my money and time, and really well made. I've never seen this quality of summaries on other websites. Very helpful!
