Description

The Voyage of The Frigate Pallada

A fascinating and lively account of a three-year voyage which, in the 1850s, took the author halfway round the world. Gifted with a sharo eye and a shrewd inquisitive mind, Goncharov was at his best when describing, with frequent flashes of humour, events that he had witnessed. Here, through Russian eyes, we see the funeral of the Duke of Wellington, Boer Society in the Cape of Good Hope, and the unbelievable rigmarole of negotiations with a Japan only just being opened up to the western world.
