| Summary | "A Frenchman in America: Recollections of Men and Things" by Max O'Rell is a humorous travel memoir written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the author's experiences and observations as he travels across the United States, providing a vivid portrayal of American culture and society from a French perspective. Through his encounters with various characters and reflections on American life, O'Rell offers insight into the quirks and uniqueness of his adopted land. The opening of the memoir sets the stage for O'Rell's transatlantic journey aboard the "Celtic" during Christmas Week in 1889. He paints a vivid picture of the monotony of ship travel, characterized by sea sickness and the peculiar behaviors of his fellow passengers. O'Rell's witty commentary reveals both the stark contrast between European and American customs and his humorous take on life aboard the ship as they approach New York. Through keen observations of his fellow passengers and their attempts to cope with the dullness of the voyage, O'Rell begins to develop the narrative style that will define his recollections throughout the memoir.
