In Korea, Manchuria, and the Liaodong Peninsula. From the Diaries of a Round-the-World Journey.

Nikolai Georgievich Garin-Mikhailovsky 1852—1906 — a wonderful writer, engineer, traveler, and simply a true Russian intelligentsia. His book is the result of a journey full of adventures, dangers, and discoveries in the Far East. This expedition became an integral part... of Garin-Mikhailovsky's round-the-world journey, during which he also visited China, Japan, the Sandwich Islands, America, and France. However, the writer paid particular attention to Korea, which had previously been closed to Europeans. The journey, which was initially conceived as a "reset," a break from life's hardships, turned into an extraordinarily interesting creative expedition and provided Garin-Mikhailovsky with a wealth of material for vivid travel essays.
