«Vertigem Americana» is Bernard-Henri Lévy's travel essay, published by Caderno in paperback (368 pages, in Portuguese).
Following Tocqueville's journey through the United States in 1831, Lévy retraces his steps 172 years later, between George Bush's re-election in 2004 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005. He visits prisons, including Guantánamo, and interviews figures such as Woody Allen, Sharon Stone and Norman Mailer to portray the contradictions of contemporary America.
The work was published in March 2007 and this edition includes a preface by Diogo Freitas do Amaral.
For readers interested in political essays and portraits of contemporary American society.
Bernard-Henri Georges Lévy is a French public intellectual. Often referred to in France simply as BHL, he was one of the leaders of the "Nouveaux Philosophes" movement in 1976. His opinions, political activism, and publications have also been the subject of several controversies over the years.
