Goncharov I. Fregat «Pallada» (s illjustracijami)
Goncharov I. Fregat «Pallada» (s illjustracijami)
| Author | Goncharov I. |
| Title | Fregat «Pallada» (s illjustracijami) |
| Description | At forty, Ivan Goncharov, by then a renowned St. Petersburg writer and author of the celebrated novel "An Ordinary Story," realized that his life had become "ordinary" too. Office papers in the morning, the manuscript of Oblomov in the evenings... This couldn't go on. And so, the modest office clerk, "timid before his superiors' gaze, afraid of catching a cold," leaving the house "only when absolutely necessary," suddenly recalled his childhood dreams of sea adventures and set off on a round-the-world voyage on the frigate Pallada.
Upon his return from a two-year voyage, Goncharov published the book The Frigate Pallada. This is not a scholarly work, but rather an appeal to friends from an amateur traveler interested in everything: weather and economics, architecture and landscapes, new languages and unusual traditions, local cuisine, and national costumes. However, the inquisitive tourist remained a talented writer: his observation, humor, and ability to find the most precise and expressive words never abandoned him. This edition features rare drawings by travelers — Goncharov's contemporaries. |
