About This Book

Uma coleção de cartas de viagem e reflexões produzidas durante uma rápida jornada pelo norte da Europa e África, em que o autor prefere analisar impressões morais e sociais a descrever pormenores topográficos. Expõe modos de viajar — estudo, curiosidade e um meio-termo erudito — e comenta ordens políticas e costumes, apontando a disciplina e o fetichismo do dever observados em Berlim. Inclui diálogo intelectual com Tolstoï sobre progresso, propriedade e organização social, admiração pela vida humilde do pensador e várias meditações sobre cidades, paisagens e o exercício do olhar do viajante.
