Nikolai Ivanovich and Glafira Semyonovna, a young merchant couple from St. Petersburg, are heading to Paris to visit the World's Fair and see if the Neva is visible from the Eiffel Tower, while also doing some shopping and enjoying local delicacies and entertainment.

The route to Paris and back passes through Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and everywhere the Russian tourists find themselves in trouble and adventure. And how could it be otherwise, given that the couple doesn't speak foreign languages and doesn't understand local traditions and customs?

First published in 1890, the satirical novella "Our People Abroad" immediately won the well-deserved love of its contemporaries and is still in print today.
