È proprio così, a Severgnini i viaggiatori interessano davvero: li segue, li osserva, li descrive in modo esilarante, senza però giudicarli o condannarli. "Eravamo turisti. Siamo diventati viaggiatori. Imperfetti, ma viaggiatori" sostiene l'autore. Siamo curiosi, rumorosi, avventurosi, frettolosi, generosi. Leggiamo poco e compriamo troppo. Siamo complessivamente onesti, e giustamente diffidenti. Siamo tolleranti. Mentre gli stranieri che visitano l'Italia si innervosiscono quando s'imbattono in altri stranieri, noi italiani, incontrando altri italiani, festeggiamo l'avvenimento.

The Maine Woods is based on Henry David Thoreau’s lengthy experiences in the forests of Maine in the years 1846, 1853, and 1857.

Experiencing all the joys of the woods, he padded in a canoe, climbed hills, and tried the local foods. The journey also makes him contemplative of his own weaknesses and strengths.

You'd keep the seven million dollars. Am I right? Yeah, me too.
