| Summary | "Schetsen uit den Kaukasus" by Carla Serena is a travel narrative likely written in the late 19th century. The work recounts the author's experiences and observations during her travels through the Caucasus, highlighting the diverse landscapes, cultures, and historical contexts of the regions she visits. It offers a vivid glimpse into the life and customs of the people inhabiting this historically rich area, specifically focusing on the provinces within Georgia. At the start of the narrative, the author describes her return to Tiflis and the invitation to embark on a journey to Goerië, navigating the unique transportation methods of the time, such as a "perekladnaja" carriage. She provides detailed observations of the landscapes and villages along the way, painting a picturesque portrayal of the natural beauty and cultural contrasts she encounters. The opening also introduces various characters, including local officials and members of unique sects like the Skoptzi, while foreshadowing the exploration of deeper social and political themes inherent in the region’s complex history.
