dbo:abstract
  • The American Scene is a book of travel writing by Henry James about his trip through the United States in 1904-1905. Ten of the fourteen chapters of the book were published in the North American Review, Harper's and the Fortnightly Review in 1905 and 1906. The first book publication was in 1907, and there were significant differences between the American and the English versions of the book. Without question the most controversial and critically discussed of James' travel books, The American Scene sharply attacked what James saw as the rampant materialism and frayed social structure of turn-of-the-century America. The book has generated controversy for its treatment of various ethnic groups and political issues. The book still has relevance to such current topics as immigration policy, environmental protection, economic growth, and racial tensions. (en)
  • The American Scene é um livro de literatura de viagem escrito por Henry James sobre sua viagem aos Estados Unidos entre 1904 e 1905 Dez dos quatorze capítulos do livro foram publicados na North American Review, na Harper's Magazine e na Fortnightly Review entre 1905 e 1906. A primeira publicação em livro ocorreu em 1907, e houve mudanças significativas entre as versões americana e inglesa do livro. Sem dúvida este é o livro mais controverso e discutido pela crítca dentre os livros de viagem de James. The American Scene ataca agudamente o que James via como o materialismo incontrolável e estrutura social esgarçada dos Estados Unidos da virada do século XIX para o XX. O livro gerou controvérsia por tratar dos vários grupos étnicos e questões políticas. Ainda é relevante para assuntos atuais como política de imigração, proteção ambiental, crescimento econômico e tensões raciais. (pt)
