Summary: "Roundabout to Moscow: An Epicurean Journey" by John Bell Bouton is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the author's observations and experiences as he journeys through various European locations, eventually leading up to Russia. It showcases his encounters with different cultures, specifically discussing the skewed perceptions about Russia held by English travelers and contrasting them with his own insights and experiences as an American tourist. At the start of the narrative, Bouton introduces readers to the lavish comforts of the train de luxe from Paris to Nice. He provides a detailed description of the journey, the elegance of the train, and the hospitality encountered. As the journey unfolds, the author reflects on the contrasts between the opulence of his travel experience and the realities of the places he visits. Notably, he takes a critical stance on the widespread English prejudices against Russia, arguing for a more honest and open engagement with the country's true character, supported by his observations as he travels. The opening sets the stage for Bouton's broader explorations and reflections throughout his travels in Europe and into Russia, inviting readers to reconsider their preconceived notions.
