In the summer of 1927, the United States experienced a series of events that marked the beginning of a new era. From the arrival of sound cinema to the rise of Al Capone's criminal empire, the construction of the Mount Rushmore monument, and the economic boom of Wall Street, the country was in full transformation. Lindbergh's aerial crossing over the Atlantic became the symbol of this paradigm shift that would define the 20th century. Bill Bryson recreates this unforgettable summer with his characteristic style, combining history, popular science, and a touch of corrosive humor, transforming it into a story of adventure, optimism, and inexhaustible energy.
