About 2500 years after Pythagoras suggested that the Earth was
round, 2320 years after Aristotle, following the teachings of the
Pythagoreans, had asserted the same, and had declared that the
great Asiatic Empire could be reached by sailing westwardly, 1940
after Seneca confirmed this view, and affirmed that India could be
reached in this way, and 501 years after the Italian, born in
Genoa, Christopher Columbus discovered America, a Russian, the
well-regarded poet Dr. Shvedchikov, rediscovers America, in the
same year, 1993, when the Pentium microprocessor for computers is
produced, the World Wide Web is created, the light emitting diodes
were invented, Space Shuttle Endeavour mission to repair an optical
flaw in the Hubble Space Telescope takes place, and the US and
Russia sign the Start II treaty calling for bilateral reduction of
strategic nuclear weapons. This book is based on Dr. Shvedchikov's
collection of notes about his first travel in the US, and on their
translation in Russian. It must be mentioned that Barbara
DeKovner-Mayer and Godfrey Harris had a key role in organizing and
supporting this travel. This captivating book, with very inspired
and humoristic descriptions of his travels, will certainly have,
together with his six poetry books, a visible place in the English
and Russian literary space, and will also remind us of Seneca's
aphorism: Si vis amari, ama (If you want to be loved, love).
