This book is a uniquely American work of literature, debuting what promises to be the next historical turning point in American Exceptionalism. An ordinary man, even a first-generation immigrant who came to this country in response to its traditional call to the world, embraces the American Dream through the pursuit of a broadly liberal education. Feeling an attraction to the wonderful plurality of this nation, he embarks on a personal and soul-shaping adventure where he travels the country as a big-rig trucker, discovering the unique colors and beauty of his fellow person. Through his liberal education and his experience of his fellow Americans, he slowly develops a profound and powerful vision for the birth of a new American populism. Recognizing that the world is on the verge of a bold and wonderful explosion of creative peoples, Farinha debuts this movement of the common person in America, understanding that it was America indeed which first shone the historical torch of the nobility inherent in the commonest of persons. The United States is a country with a unique and very particular significance and destiny. When personalities arise who strum the sting of this country's true historical import, the soul of the country responds-even if such an "American" is indeed a first-generation immigrant and not the stereotype of a national leader. Read this book, and witness the makings of such a next national leader. Read this book, and witness (on the very ground floor) the next turn of American history...
