New European Online Site Concentrates on Fresh View of America
LISBON, Portugal, March 17 /PRNewswire/ -- A European online publisher wants to widen European perceptions of America with the launch of a new website America-is.com that focuses only on America and American issues across all subjects.The first text `America' is the latest work of Portuguese writer and poet Paulo Jose Miranda and is written in 99 points ranging from one liners to fuller explanations.
Miranda says: "In Europe, no matter what kind of education you have, when the subject America is brought up, suddenly all intelligence vanishes from the discourse.
"It is as if we in Europe lack a US chromosome. The text America is completely different. It perceives the greatness of America all along in its 99 points."
Already the site is creating interest in the States. An American lady commented:
"I did look at your link and I was really astonished. I have lived in Europe, and every single European I know loves to say how much they hate America, the Americans and the American culture and way of life; and from people I consider extremely educated, intelligent, thoughtful, and un-prejudiced.
"Anyway, then I read your text, and it is something completely different to anything I have ever heard any European say.
"Your perspective seems to be from such a different place - perhaps from the stars or from the Moon or from Mars?? I know you're a writer, but even so: I was just astonished at your insights. I can see why you deserved to win the Jose Saramago Prize! Congratulations!"
