"Our Old Motherland: A Series of English Essays" is a collection of works by the American writer Nathaniel Hawthorne, in which he talks about his impressions from a trip to England and about his own observations of the life and traditions of the British. The author skilfully combines the architecture, landscapes and atmosphere of the places he visited with his own reflections on the past and the present in his descriptions. Each essay in this book is a separate masterpiece that transports the reader to the atmosphere of ancient English towns and villages, helping to better understand the culture and history of this country."
