Through the outsider's perspective, Goldsmith is able to examine familiar British customs as though they were strange and unfamiliar. The letters comment humorously on fashion, politics, wealth, social behaviour and national prejudice. Beneath the comedy lies a thoughtful critique of society and the assumptions people make about cultures other than their own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216400761171,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421108420947,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/the-citizen-of-the-world-folio-society-295","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
