I'ts so funny how genuenly shocked Dostoevsky is when he writes about the impressions of visiting England, specifically London, in Winter Notes on Summer Impressions. Funny is how he said that materialism surrounds you with millions of people but they all seem to feel so alone.
>A major theme of the book is that of the conflict between history and the modern world. Twain continually encounters petty profiteering and trivializations of history as he journeys, as well as a strange emphasis placed on particular past events. He is either outraged, puzzled, or bored by each encounter.
Actually sounds very interesting and I know exactly what you mean with the little stories lol
