Product details

In just eight days from Paris to Wierzchownia in Ukraine: In late summer 1847, Honoré de Balzac traveled to the Russian Empire, aiming for a wedding with his long-time lover, Countess Ewelina Hanska. He covered the distance at a remarkable speed by train, starting from Gleiwitz with post horses and rented carriages, to finally fulfill his desire. In his travelogue and letters, delightful travel scenes intertwine with reflections on Russia's wealth and the country's unforeseen possibilities, vivid descriptions of daily life at the Countess Hanska's estate, and bold business ideas. Translated by Nicola Denis, this travel account is published for the first time in German, thoroughly annotated and supplemented by letters Balzac wrote from Ukraine. The afterword, written by editor Brigitte van Kann, offers an intriguing behind-the-scenes look.
