Journey to the End of the Russian Empire
by Anton Chekhov

From the Great Journeys series.

Overwhelmed by what he felt was the worthlessness of his great success as a writer, Chekhov decided to leave everything behind him and go to the far reaches of Siberia to the terrible Russian penal colony on Sakhalin Island. This book mixes his witty, charming letters back to friends on his long journey with his grim account of the reality of life in one of the worst places on earth.

Penguin's new Great Journeys series presents the most incredible tours, voyages, treks, expeditions, and travels ever written--from Isabella Bird's exaltation in the dangers of grizzlies, rattlesnakes, and cowboys in the Rocky Mountains to Marco Polo's mystified reports of a giant bird that eats elephants during his voyage along the coasts of India. Each beautifully packaged volume offers a way to see the world anew, to rediscover great civilizations and legends, vast deserts and unspoiled mountain ranges, unusual flora and strange new creatures, and much more.
