Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Illustrations of Political Economy, Vol. 13: The Charmed Sea, a Tale "These, then, are the mountains," said a Russian officer to one of a band of armed Siberian peasants, appointed to guard a company of exiles who were on their way, some to the mines of Nertchinsk, and others to be attached to the soil as serfs, wheresoever the governor of Irkutsk should please. "These, then, are the mountains, and here they cross the frontier, to give work to the Emperor´s enemies, in digging out their gold and silver." "Yes, those are the mountains, and within them lies the Charmed Sea," replied the peasant, who, however, did not trouble himself so much as even to look up towards the peaks, now beginning to wax dim in the long northern twilight. This man lived in the next hamlet, and traversed this road almost every day, as did his companions; for, though the Russian officer had accompanied the exiles all the way from Poland, the peasant guard was changed from village to village.
