Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Very rare book. Non-fiction book based on the Russian  experience of Victor Tissot (1844-1917). He was a Swiss journalist and non-fiction writer. As a result of his travels to the Russian Empire, he published the memoirs, "Russian and Russians". His impressions were varied and sincere. He tried to embrace the wide range of Russian images.  In 1881 George D. Cox translated into English the most politically painful part: the Siberian exile of political prisoners, known as katorga. The Japanese publication was intended as a series of exile stories, but only the first part was published. Text in Japanese. Original hardcover paperboard with brown cloth spine. The corner of the wrapper board shows rubbing and chipping. Stains on the flypaper. Taxation (or censorship) stamp of Niigata prefecture on the title page. Small sticker on the last flypaper.
