Sinópse: Excerpt from Maurice Barrès: Pages Choisies Naturally enough, at Boston, where the New Englanders are conscious of being overrun by an America upon which they have been unable to set their own stamp, Barrès’ obstinate defence of national ideals against foreign inroads offered points of interest. Again, at Ann Arbour, where the incessant flood of prolific Germany beats against the outposts of the earlier Americanism, much as the same flood beats against the Old Civilization et Lorraine, of which Barres is the champion, at Ann Arbour some curiosity was aroused. And finally at Berkeley, near San Francisco, in that effervescent California, which feels SO young and thinks it has no past of ist own, the conceptions of Barres, who represents an endeavour to preserve all that is vene rable and beautiful in a complex past, were welcome and threw light on many questions which disquiet even new countries.
