One-story America

1935. Two Soviet correspondents, Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov, embark on a grand journey across the USA. In a brand new Ford, they will travel the entire country from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. They will talk about American football and film production in Hollywood, climb to the top of the Empire State Building in New York, meet Ernest Hemingway and Henry Ford, and even visit the White House! But the main thing is to reveal to the reader the lives of ordinary Americans in that very low-rise America.
These travel notes, written with ease and humor, have long become a classic of travel journalism.
