In 1861 a struggling playwright from Nantes traveled to the wildest parts of Norway with two friends. The experience transformed him, opening his eyes to exotic adventures—and to a new mode of writing. The sole surviving chapter of his autobiographical work, completed at about the same time as he met his lifelong publisher and surely his most personal piece, brilliantly recounts his reasons for travelling and his preparations in a henceforth “suffocating” Paris. None of his subsequent masterpieces would have been possible without Verne’s Joyous Miseries.

The roof leaked, the mortar in the ancient walls was crumbling; a fertilizer bag stuffed a broken window. There was no electricity to speak of; the plumbing was a lead pipe in one room; the cellar doors had rotted. And there it stood. Shutters and doors firmly locked, the villagers of Causses-et-Veyran passing by to the church next door. Then, an impoverished—in his mind at any rate—Londoner and his wife went a little crazy and bought it. It was love at first sight.

"Es gibt nichts Langweiligeres auf dieser Erde als die Lektüre einer italienischen Reisebeschreibung", warnt Heinrich Heine und verspricht, sie dadurch "einigermaßen erträglich zu machen, dass er von Italien selbst so wenig als möglich darin redet". So sind "Die Bäder von Lucca" eher bissige Anekdoten über die geistigen und politischen Zustände im Deutschland des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts. Obwohl Heine in der Restaurationszeit verboten wurde, waren seine Reisebilder und Gedichte so erfolgreich, dass er als freier Schriftsteller im Pariser Exil leben konnte.
