Books by Prince Hermann von Puckler-Muskau

In 1826, Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau began a tour of England, Wales, and Ireland. His letters home were part memoir, part travelogue and political commentary, part epistolary novel. His rhetorical flare and acute observations provoked German poet Heinrich Heine to describe him as the ¿most fashionable of eccentric men¿Diogenes on horseback.¿
