Provate a immaginare una linea gialla che attraversa le grandi strade americane. È proprio lì che inizia questa storia.
In questi affascinanti racconti di viaggio, l'autore, alla ricerca dei propri sogni e delle storie che hanno plasmato l'America, decide di percorrere le strade degli Stati Uniti a bordo di una moto, superando la paura di volare. Seguendo quella linea gialla simbolica, esplora territori e culture diverse, immergendosi nella vita della provincia, nei paesaggi infiniti, nella storia dei nativi americani, nella musica, nel cinema e nelle tradizioni degli italo-americani.
Il suo percorso attraversa stati come Pennsylvania, Montana, Wyoming, Massachusetts, Idaho, South Dakota, Arizona e molti altri, rivelando un'America autentica e spesso sconosciuta al turismo di massa. Tra incontri umani, storie di leggende, miti e realtà , il viaggio diventa un'esperienza antropologica e personale, fatta di emozioni, scoperte e connessioni profonde con le persone e i luoghi.
Il libro offre uno sguardo diverso sull'America, lontano dai cliché, tra racconti di figure leggendarie del West, la spiritualità dei nativi americani come i Lakota Sioux, le atmosfere degli anni '50, i set cinematografici, le tradizioni e la vita sospesa degli Amish, le radici degli immigrati italiani e le tracce della Guerra Civile.
Un viaggio tra storia, paesaggi mozzafiato, musica e letteratura, che dimostra come, attraversando le strade e incontrando le persone, si possa avvicinarsi alla vera essenza di questo grande, contraddittorio e sorprendente Paese.
