ENGLISH: America and England

This book is an attempt to cover the history, language and culture of two most famous superpowers of the 20th and 21st centuries and evaluate their impact, glory and tribulations. Like a man's life, it has its ups and downs which can balance his human value, shared between qualities and shortcomings. This is a rather optimistic goal to try and summarize the long Anglo-Saxon history from the Stonehenge era to Donald Trump's Proud Boys' storming of the Capitol; many centuries indeed. This is in what concerns the people of these great nations. As far as their language is concerned English, it is a great language with a long history (Old, Middle and Modern). It is the language of Shakespeare.
