The book is was originally self-described on its cover flap as follows: "The name of Offenbach, king of opéra bouffe, author of La Vie Parisienne and The Tales of Hoffman is synonymous with the gaiety and wit of the French Second Empire. Visiting America in 1876, Offenbach ? was endlessly inquisitive about all he saw, from art and music to the New York Fire Department, from horse-cars to women's dress, from Niagara Falls to advertising. Offenbach found America and the Americans a source of unfailing entertainment, and the candid impressions which he recorded in his journal are fresh, droll, and full of charm." 606 $aTravel$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01155558 606 $aMusic$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01030269 606 $aManners and customs$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01007815 606 $aMusic$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$2fast 607 $aUnited States$xSocial life and customs 607 $aUnited States$xDescription and travel 607 $aUnited States$xSocial life and customs$y1865-1918 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTravel. 615 0$aMusic. 615 0$aManners and customs. 615 0$aMusic 700 $aOffenbach$b Jacques$f1819-1880,$0320127 702 $aAlajalov$b Constantin$f1900-1987, 702 $aMacClintock$b Lander$f1889-1980, 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524866703321 996 $aOrpheus in America$92642852 997 $aUNINA
