Editor of translation: I. V. Morozova, J. B. Fernandez

In the Novel Gravity’s Rainbow, which formally depicts the end of The Second World War and the beginning of the postwar period, the characters being American culture representatives get into a European city medium. A popular phrase “Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas any more…” that was an epigraph to Part III of the book proves that in the novel there is a theme of an alien and at the same time so familiar to the American culture space
