A Northern Highway Of The Tsar is a travelogue written by Aubyn Trevor-Battye and published in 1898. The book describes the author's journey across the northern regions of the Russian Empire, from St. Petersburg to the Arctic Circle. The journey was made possible by the construction of a new railway line, which allowed the author to travel through remote and previously inaccessible areas. The book provides a detailed account of the landscapes, people, and cultures encountered along the way, as well as the challenges and hardships faced by the author during his journey. The author also provides insights into the political and social conditions of the Russian Empire at the time, including the tensions between the ruling classes and the peasants, and the impact of industrialization on the country's economy.Throughout the book, the author's fascination with the natural world is evident, and he provides vivid descriptions of the flora and fauna he encounters, as well as the harsh weather conditions of the northern regions. Overall, A Northern Highway Of The Tsar is a fascinating and informative account of a journey through a little-known region of the Russian Empire, and provides valuable insights into the country's history, culture, and natural environment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
