Rezension zu „Letters from America “
"Curiously, this is the first publication en bloc, in either French or English, of Alexis de Tocqueville's delightful letters from America in 1831-2. All of them have previously been printed, but only here and there. Frederick Brown is to be congratulated on bringing them all together, and for publishing, with them, the American letters of Gustave de Beaumont." (Hugh Brogan, Times Literary Supplement) "A delightful selection of letters... Translated for the first time, these letters not only provide a vivid picture of Tocqueville's daily experiences, but also show how he began to comprehend the singular country he was exploring." (Jeremy Jennings, Standpoint)"
