The book chronicles the author's extensive journeys throughout Southern Russia, detailing his observations on the geology, geography, and the societies he encounters. As a civil engineer and member of the Société Géologique of France, he blends scientific inquiry with cultural observations to provide insights into the lands that played a significant role in Russia's historical development. The opening of the travelogue begins with the author's departure from Constantinople and arrival in Odessa, capturing his awe for the grandeur of the former and his initial disillusionment with the latter. De Hell reflects on the various aspects of his journey, including the challenges of traveling via a Russian steamer and the quarantine procedures upon arrival. He describes the town of Odessa in detail, noting its bustling atmosphere contrasted with the filth he perceives, while also sharing insights into its diverse population and cultural dynamics. The narrative sets the tone for a robust exploration of the region, where de Hell intends to delve deeper into the geological and cultural observations that unfold in the chapters to come.
