Blanche Willis Howard Bücher

Süße, blonde Flachsköpfe; kräftige, rotwangige Dirnen, und wässerschlürfende Erholungsbedürftige. Deutsche sowohl Dichter und Denker als auch Genussmenschen und Wustliebhaber. Rheinschlösser, Alpenblumen und Kurorte. So schildert die 29-jährige Amerikanerin im Jahre 1876 die Menschen, Landschaften und Orte, die sie auf den Ausflügen in die Schweiz, nach Österreich, zu verschiedenen Orten Süddeutschlands, Hamburg und Paris erlebt. Als Gegenbild entwirft sie den Amerikaner in der “Neuen Welt” als praktisches und ewig hetzendes Wesen, dem man in der “Alten Welt” mangelnde historische und kulturelle Tiefe entgegenhält. Mit einer kräftigen Portion Humor stellt sie die gegenseitigen Vorurteile zwischen Deutschen und Amerikanern des 19. Jahrhunderts gegenüber: Dass beiden Bildern ein Fünkchen Wahrheit anhaftet und Vieles nicht stimmt, macht sie in ihrem Reisebericht anekdotenhaft deutlich.
