    George Mikes s ironickým humorom skúma večnú otázku cudzozmstva a nenapraviteľnosti. S odzbrojujúcou úprimnosťou opisuje nevyhnutný pocit odcizenia, ktorý sprevádza život v cudzej krajine, nech sa človek snaží akokoľvek prispôsobiť. Jeho texty sú plné postrehov o kultúrnych rozdieloch, ktoré pretrvávajú aj napriek snahám o splynutie. S nadhľadom a sebairóniou zachytáva zložitý vzťah medzi ním ako Angličanom a Francúzskom, ktoré ho s dobrosrdečnou trpezlivosťou prijíma.

      This is the story of the life and times of a fictitious person named Dan William and it is about his experiences growing up, and living in a small farming community located in Western Iowa. It is a story about his trials and tribulations, as well as the good times in his life. It is also a story about relations between people and people's relationships with their maker. The life described in this book is perhaps not that much different from many lives of real individuals, but the purpose of this book is to tell of individual experiences, which are unique to the characters in this book, and hopefully you can relate them to your own experiences. This story is also about the times from the 1940s' until after turn of the century. I hope you enjoy it. Douglas Wallis
