 Yes it is officially book review number 200 and for this one I bring you The Last American by J.A. Mitchell. I have shown this book off once before. It was on one of my book tag videos where I talked about the oldest book in my collection and this is it. This was originally published in 1889 and this is a look like a seventh printing from 1902. The Last American a fragment from the journal of Khan Lee Prince of Dim Future and Admiral in the Persian Navy. That'll give you an idea of what kind of book this is. It is Social Satire. It is a chronicle from the year 2900 something I think. Where this expedition from the future Persia. There it is 2951 10th of May aboard the slow tub. It is a Persian ship that is exploring the Western Hemisphere which has been long forgotten. It has had no contact with the rest of the world for a thousand years and the American Empire is long gone. I first heard about this book in the Illustrated Encyclopedia of Science Fiction. As you can see it is very brief. It has these beautiful colored plates here. These this Persian ship that begins to explore the ruined cities of North America and it has a great sense of humor about it. See this character named levelheaded. My favorite passage in the book comes on the 18th of May. Says poor Jackass is worse than sick. He had an encounter last night with a strange animal and his defeat was in noble. The animal a pretty little thing much like a kitten was hovering near when Jackass with rare courage and agility threw himself upon it. And then what happened none of us can state with precision. We know we held our noses and fled and Jackass no words can fit him. He carries with him an odor to devastate a province. We had to leave him ashore and send him fresh raiment. This is verily a land of surprises. Here they are climbing the great bronze statue in the harbor but at the at the end of the book they do find one inhabitant or rather one family of inhabitants here. He's a skinny wiry brash young redhead completely illiterate. He remained in the same position not even withdrawing his feet. He has a young woman with him and an old man. He gets his way by screaming and punching. So yeah he's an American. This is a very interesting example of social satire that you don't hear about. I'm sure you can find the text online if you can find a copy of the book for yourself it is very entertaining and that's it review number 200. There's more to come.
