Arsène Legrelle, a French scholar and translator , sets foot in SaintPetersburg in October 1869 . He delivers here a spontaneous , vivid and detailed account of the seven days spent in the city he discovers with great enthusiasm . All the sights are described with an almost photographic accuracy and a touch of humor . An untimely telegram puts an end to the excitement of this first stay . Four longer trips to Russia will follow , which will be recounted in a book , Le Volga (1872 ).
