Item description from seller

First British edition from US sheets. Uniform matching hard back binding in publisher's original camel brown cloth covered boards, faded blocked and lettered gilt backs, olivine top edges. 8vo. 9¼'' x 6¼''. In May 1885, Kennan began this voyage across Siberia. He had been very publicly positive about the Tsarist Russian government and its policies and his journey was approved by the Russian government. However, in the course of his meetings with exiled dissidents during his travel, notably Nikolai Mikhailovich Yadrintsev, he changed his mind about the Russian imperial system. On his return to the United States in August 1886, he became an ardent critic of the Russian autocracy and began to espouse the cause of Russian democracy. Kennan devoted much of the next twenty years to promoting the cause of a Russian revolution, mainly by lecturing. Contents | Volume 1: frontispiece, (xv)-blank, 409 pp with 4 maps and 90 illustrations | Volume 2: frontispiece, (x)-blank, 575 pp with 3 maps and 104 illustrations. In Very Good condition.
