Summary: "From Paris to Pekin over Siberian Snows" by Victor Meignan is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the author's adventurous journey from Paris to Pekin, traversing the icy expanses of Siberia, the Gobi Desert, and various parts of China. Meignan's account is rich in observations about the cultures and landscapes he encounters, presenting a vivid portrait of his experiences as a Western traveler in these remote regions. The opening portion of the narrative sets the stage for Meignan's ambitious endeavor to explore Siberia and China during winter. Initially, we learn about his preparations for the journey, including the skepticism of his friends and his resolve to experience Siberia in all its icy glory. The narrative quickly shifts to the early stages of his journey, detailing his experiences traveling from Paris to St. Petersburg, his first impressions of Russia, and the perceived challenges at the customs house. Through encounters with Russian officials, reflections on the culture and landscapes, and humorous anecdotes, the opening successfully immerses the reader into the unique atmosphere of a wintry expedition, filled with both anticipation and daunting circumstances.
