Abstract: In this article, we will review the pivotal stages of the formation and evolution of the United States of America as the epitome of modern civilization, often called as “New Rome”. Our examination will be targeted solely at analyzing American literature, as fiction represents one of the most important and reliable indicators of any culture. We believe that fiction possesses the ability to notice, capture, and mirror the characteristic nuances of an era, often overlooked by “the Great History”. American literature is a very organic continuation of great European literature. And yet, it is self-sufficient, like American culture, the American way of life, and the value system as a whole. By exploring American literature and the masterpieces of prominent American authors, we aim to comprehend a distinctive world. The assertion that America, like other significant cultures (especially civilization) is inherently messianic with a focus on the clear benevolent origins of American “Messianism”. However, the significant point today is that America’s impact on the rest of the world is greater than ever which is why it is so relevant to local trends .
