Produced by Judith Boss, and David Widger "American Notes" by Rudyard Kipling is a collection of travel essays written in the late 19th century. The text reflects Kipling’s impressions as he travels through America, sharing his perspectives on various cities and social customs. As he arrives in San Francisco, Kipling captures the chaotic character of the city and the intriguing blend of American culture that challenges his expectations as a British traveler. The opening of the book describes Kipling's arrival in San Francisco, where he is immediately struck by the madness and beauty of the city. He recounts his bewildering experiences navigating through the unfamiliar urban landscape, encountering a mix of charming and bewildering characters, and grappling with the cultural differences he observes. From his interactions with local reporters to the peculiarities of American hospitality, Kipling's narrative highlights both his fascination and critique of American society. The writing is both humorous and critical as he reflects on the differences in language, customs, and social norms, setting the stage for his continued exploration of the diverse and tumultuous landscape of America.
