"The Three Seas Voyage" by the 15th century Tver merchant Afanasy Nikitin is a classic monument of Russian travel literature, probably the most famous of them all. The new academic edition of Nikitin's outstanding work summarizes all previous scholarly editions, carefully preserving the achievements of scholars in researching, transmitting and commenting on the text. At the same time, it
eliminates significant shortcomings of the old publications in the analysis of the origin of the manuscripts of the Khozheniye, in the characterization of the journey and views of Afanasy Nikitin, and, importantly, in the comprehensibility and accessibility of his work for the reader. The Russian view of the world, beautifully conveyed by the traveler of the times of the unification of Russia and its liberation from the Horde yoke, is close and understandable to the modern reader because the simple merchant Athanasius expressed the beliefs that underlie our worldview. The publication is addressed to students and teachers of historical specialties, political scientists and all those interested in the history of Russia.
