American Notes

American Notes is a travelogue that recounts Kipling's experiences during his visit to the United States in the late 19th century. Through his keen observations and sharp wit, Kipling provides a detailed and often critical analysis of American culture, society, and its rapid industrialization. He contrasts these elements with his British sensibilities, offering both admiration and skepticism in his reflections on the young nation's progress, innovation, and way of life.
