Book Synopsis Voyage Around My Room by : Xavier de Maistre
Download or read book Voyage Around My Room written by Xavier de Maistre and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-21 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

In addition to the Voyage and Expedition, this edition also includes the dialogue “The Leper of the City of Aosta,” a preface by Xavier’s better-known older brother (the royalist philosopher Joseph de Maistre), and an introduction by Richard Howard.
