3.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting look at Asia in the 1890s,
By Tess (MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Czarevitch Nicolas of Russia in Siam and Saigon (First English Translation) (Paperback)
"Czarevitch Nicolas of Russia in Siam and Saigon" is excerpted from the official account of the trip of then-Tsarevich Nicholas Aleksandrovich (later Tsar Nicholas II) to Asia and eastern Russia in 1891. The writing style can be a bit strange, jumping from past to present tense and back again. (This may be a fault of the translation.) It is mostly a travelogue, covering the Tsarevich's time in Siam, Burma, Sri Lanka (then called Ceylon), India, and Vietnam. There are a lot of very interesting engravings. I enjoyed leafing through the book, but found it difficult to read at one sitting. The book is divided into days ("Monday, 23 March 1891," for example) which makes browsing easier. The information on the Tsarevich himself is minimal.
