Panofsky (Princeton U.) describes the journey that Russian writer Karamzin (1766-1826) took through Germany, Switzerland, and England from May 1789 until September 1790, and the famous Letters
of a Russian Traveller that his journal of the trip became. She is particularly interested in events that he did not describe, or events that he did but that never happened. Her perspectives
are on the road through Germany, the arrival in Berlin, the Russian veteran in Potsdam, and the autographs in the Staatsbibliothek Berlin. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book
