This work recounts the author’s extensive journey across central Asia, including regions like Russia, Siberia, and Turkestan, eventually reaching Bactria. Bonvalot, alongside his companion Capus, embarks on this adventure as scientific missionaries, collecting natural history specimens along the way, and offers detailed observations of the cultures and landscapes encountered during their travels. The opening of the narrative introduces the journey, beginning with their departure from Moscow and detailing their experiences as they navigate through various landscapes and cities like Nijni-Novogorod and Perm. The duo boards a riverboat named "Samolet" to travel down the Volga, providing insights into the diverse mix of travelers aboard, from merchants to soldiers. As Bonvalot describes their observations of the scenery, local customs, and the people they meet, he sets the stage for a vibrant exploration of life in the regions they traverse, aiming to capture both the geography and the essence of the nomadic and sedentary populations they encounter.
