Chapter 1 – “Uncle Sam”
Chapter 1 - "Uncle Sam" begins with an unexpected legacy born from an ordinary act: the naming of a hill and town in upstate New York. The choice of “Troy” and “Mount Ida,” though perhaps intended to summon classical grandeur, would later become the quiet backdrop for a national icon’s origin. Amid the daily rhythms of early 19th-century life, Samuel Wilson, a local man known for his cheer and generosity, built more than a business—he built trust. Children called him “Uncle Sam” with…-

Chapter 2 – Domestic Despots
Chapter 2 - Domestic Despots explores the strange but familiar reality where dogs, rather than humans, appear to be in charge of the household. Within these homes, the owners are not masters but servants—fetching, feeding, and fussing at the slightest whim of a pawed commander. The dog’s comfort becomes paramount, its presence dictating where one sits, how loudly one speaks, and whether one travels at all. Vacations are shortened or skipped altogether, dinner menus are altered, and furniture becomes…-

Chapter 3 - Cyrano, Rostand, Coquelin begins with a reflection on how true brilliance can withstand flawed translation, much like fine wine still satisfying even in a cracked glass. When Cyrano de Bergerac crossed into English, its wit, charm, and emotional depth refused to be dulled. Rostand’s voice remained intact, thanks in part to Richard Mansfield’s resolve to keep the production honest to the original. Despite the translator’s limitations, the play retained its soul—an achievement owed not…

Chapter 4 – Machine-made Men
Chapter 4 - Machine-made Men opens with a moment both humorous and frustrating: a personal-looking letter turns out to be nothing more than a printed pitch for suspenders and disposable collars. That small deception sparks a larger reflection on how daily life has been taken over by a flood of inventions, most of them unnecessary. These gadgets, born from a culture addicted to novelty, promise efficiency but deliver only confusion. Instead of simplifying life, they overcomplicate it with moving parts,…-

Chapter 5 – Parnassus
Chapter 5 - Parnassus begins with a youthful memory—an encounter with the formidable Sainte-Beuve, one of France’s sharpest literary minds. The narrator recalls stepping into his study on rue Montparnasse, where modest furnishings belied the intellectual firepower of the man within. That early meeting left a quiet but permanent impression. Over time, as the narrator’s own understanding of literature deepened, so too did the value of that moment. The recollection matures into respect, shaped by later…-

Chapter 6 – Modern Architecture
Chapter 6 - Modern Architecture begins with the imagined awe of a traveler first glimpsing New York’s skyline at twilight—a moment filled with wild allure and grand silhouettes. Yet that same skyline, when viewed in the stark light of day, transforms into a display of disjointed ambition and architectural confusion. Towers rise without rhyme or rhythm, each clamoring for attention, none offering unity. Where cities of the past presented a visual dialogue of shared ideals, this cityscape resembles a…-

Chapter 7 - Worldly Color-Blindness explores the subtle yet destructive effect of social misjudgment in hospitality, using the metaphor of literal color-blindness to reveal the consequences of emotional and cultural dullness. The chapter begins by contrasting physical impairments—like tone-deafness or visual deficiencies—with a far more common but less discussed issue: a lack of social discernment. In music or painting, some can overcome these limitations through technique or sheer will. But in…

Chapter 8 – Idling in Mid-Ocean
Chapter 8 - Idling in Mid-Ocean offers more than a scenic voyage; it becomes a slow exhale from the pressures of the structured world. The open sea surrounds the traveler with silence and space, and in that vastness, the senses sharpen while the mind settles. There are no doors to knock on, no errands to run, no meetings to attend. This enforced stillness, rather than breeding impatience, fosters a rare kind of peace. Time stretches like the horizon, not bound by clocks but by meals, sunsets, and the soft…-

Chapter 9 - "Climbers" in England draws attention to a curious spectacle—the tireless efforts of certain Americans to enter the ranks of English high society. The fascination is mutual, yet often tinged with confusion and condescension. While Americans arrive with enthusiasm, expecting glamour and influence, they are met with cold scrutiny and a subtle caste system rooted more in tradition than merit. The so-called “Little Englander” mindset, with its quiet pride and national rigidity, resists…
