Customer Reviews

Remarkable foresights - Rated 4/5
This is a fascinating book. It is a travelogue, combined with political philosofy. Both are equally interesting. The travelogue describes the life Russian courts, the feodal society, and travelling in 1839 vividly.

The poilitcal/philosphical bit provides some canning insights and foresights, some of which came trye many years later. Funny how life under the czars resembled that of life under the Soviets in so many ways. .

The marquess himself is typical of noblemen of his day. His comment are nevertheless sharp and to the point, never too arrogant or descending. The famous Russian 'soul' comes under scrutiny. Lacking ofcourse are the more Dickensian types of life, conversation is often with fellow noblemen.

Interesting read, I wonder how much is stil true for today's Russia. Four stars for a valuable & interesting travelogue, sadly overlooked.
