| Summary |
"La lasta Usonano" by John Ames Mitchell is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to focus on themes of exploration and discovery, centering around a character named Kan-Li, a prince and admiral who embarks on a journey that reveals an ancient civilization—the United States—and reflects on its rise and fall. The opening of the novel introduces the setting as Kan-Li and his crew aboard the ship Testudo are navigating a foreign land, which they later identify as the remnants of New York City. The narrative describes their excitement upon sighting land after a long journey, as well as their initial observations of the ruins which indicate the once-great civilization they are venturing into. As they explore, the characters encounter antiquities and marvel at the powerful yet mysterious history of the land. The story sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the cultural and historical implications of the Usonano people, alongside the individual personalities and reactions of the crew as they uncover the truths of this lost civilization.
