Letters of Russia
Lettres of Russia is a Essai of Astolphe de Custine writes in 1839 in the form of news sent of Russia.
Custine judges there without kindness the Russia Tsar S, announcing for the future a formidable alarm clock of the great empire whose restoration would be done inevitably by a levelling dictatorship (it employs the word tyranny ). Traveller visionary, it thus announced the revolution Bolchévique whose first victims were those which had prohibited its book in Russia.
The tsar tried even in 1843 to bribe Balzac, on a journey to Saint-Pétersbourg, so that the author of the human Comedy challenges Custine openly. What Balzac did not do.
