A Journey Round My Room
De Maistre, Xavier

First American Edition. c.1871. Hardcover. Green cloth, gilt spine titles, gilt edge. 12mo. 152pp. Near Fine. Very mild shelfwear, mild rubbing to spine-ends and corners, former owner's signature on front pastedown and title page. Xavier was the younger brother of the more well known Count Joseph de Maistre. Wikipedia: His Voyage autour de ma chambre (1794) a parody set in the tradition of the grand travel narrative, is an autobiographical account of how a young official, imprisoned in his room for six weeks, looks at the furniture, engravings, etc., as if they were scenes from a voyage in a strange land. He praises this voyage because it does not cost anything, for this reason it is strongly recommended to the poor, the infirm, and the lazy. His room is a long square, and the perimeter is thirty-six paces. "When I travel through my room," he writes, "I rarely follow a straight line: I go from the table towards a picture hanging in a corner; from there, I set out obliquely towards the door; but even though, when I begin, it really is my intention to go there, if I happen to meet my armchair en route, I don't think twice about it, and settle down in it without further ado." Later, proceeding North, he encounters his bed, and in this way he lightheartedly continues his "Voyage". This work is remarkable for its play with the reader's imagination, along the lines of Laurence Sterne, whom Xavier admired. Xavier did not think much of Voyage, but his brother Joseph had it published.
