Letters of a Dead Man Von Puckler-Mus Hermann
In 1826, the prince of Puckler-Muskau embarked on a tour of England, Wales, and Ireland. He and his wife Lucie, having expended every resource on a plan to transform their estate into a vast landscape park, agreed to an amicable divorce, freeing him to forge an advantageous alliance that could rescue their project. Although captivated by all things British, his initial objective was to find a wealthy bride.
From the metropolis of London, he toured the mines and factories of the Industrial Revolution and visited the grand estates and spectacular art collections maintained by its beneficiaries. For over two years, Puckler's letters home conveyed a vivid, often quirky, and highly entertaining account of his travels. He encountered the scourge of rural and urban poverty and found common cause with the oppressed Irish.
