Chapter 36 – American Society in Italy explores the myth and eventual unraveling of a unified American social circle in Italy, particularly in cultural hubs like Rome and Florence.

Chapter 39 – A Race of Slaves
Chapter 39 – A Race of Slaves begins with a sharp contradiction: Americans, once heralded as champions of liberty, are now portrayed as willing participants in a system that diminishes their individual rights. The chapter opens by acknowledging the expansive influence Americans have abroad—bringing progress to Europe, electrifying ancient spaces, and exporting innovation. Yet, at home, the same people submit passively to trivial bureaucratic powers. This irony forms the core of the chapter’s…-

This moment marks not just the turning of a calendar page, but an opportunity for thoughtful reflection on the journey taken thus far.
