Voyage Around My Room by Xavier de Maistre, Richard Howard (Introduction), Joseph de Maistre (Preface), Stephen Sartarelli (Translator)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.4 MB
Overview: A lively and utterly singular travelogue of the intricate curiosities that are directly within one’s own reach

In 1790, while serving in the Piedmontese army, the French aristocrat Xavier de Maistre (1763–1852) was punished for dueling and placed under house arrest for forty-two days. The result was a discursive, mischievous memoir Voyage Around My Room, and its sequel, Nocturnal Expedition Around My Room. Admired by Nietzsche and Machado de Assis, Ossian and Susan Sontag, this classic book proves that sitting on the living room sofa can be as fascinating as crossing the Alps or paddling up the Amazon.
