Chuck Greif and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images available at The Hathi Trust) "Opinions" by Claude C. Washburn is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. The book addresses various topics based on the author's reflections about life, culture, and the human condition, particularly as it pertains to the American experience abroad. This work explores themes such as the nature of opinions, living overseas, and cultural disillusionment, providing insights that value personal introspection over societal norms. The opening of "Opinions" presents a preface that establishes the author's perspective on opinions and their intrinsic role in the lives of novelists and thinkers. Washburn humorously reflects on the burden of opinions, suggesting that they develop a life of their own and often manifest in ways that can seem unmanageable for writers. He begins discussing the complex reasons behind why many Americans choose to live abroad, emphasizing the perceived freedom from societal expectations and how this choice may lead to a deeper understanding of both self and the foreign cultures they engage with. The text sets the tone for a thoughtful examination of personal beliefs and the paradoxes of freedom and responsibility inherent in human connections, particularly aimed at those who seek meaning in a world increasingly dominated by superficiality.
