The work serves as a firsthand narrative of the author's travels and observations in the largely unexplored region of Kamchatka, detailing the challenges and experiences he faced during his journey. The focus is likely on both the natural landscape and the unique cultural aspects of the Kamtschadale people, as well as a detailed account of his expedition alongside significant figures of that time, including Count de La Perouse. The opening of the narrative introduces Lesseps as he reflects on his considerable journey through Kamchatka, expressing both gratitude and nostalgia for his time with the French frigates, which have now departed. He describes the emotional farewell with crew members, the kindness of local Russian officials who assist him, and sets the stage for his personal observations of the land and its inhabitants. The author mentions his intent to document the varied aspects of Kamchatka, including its climate, culture, and the life of its native people, as well as his journey's details leading up to his arrival in various ostrogs. Overall, the first part of the book presents a mix of personal reflection and the anticipation of adventure, laying the groundwork for the detailed exploration of Kamchatka that is to follow.
