rueckkehr

Updated: May 29, 2025

In his volume of travels in the East called Die Rueckkehr, Prince Pueckler-Muksau has given an amusing account of the negotiations that passed between himself and Lady Hester on the subject of his visit. For once the niece of Pitt had found her match in vanity and arrogance; and if the prince's book had appeared in her lifetime, it is certain that she would not long have survived it.

The travellers adventures during this period have been described in his Semilasso in Africa, Aus Mehemet's Reich, Die Rueckkehr, and other works, which added to their author's fame, and nearly sufficed to pay his expenses. We hear of him breaking hearts at Tunis and Athens, shooting big game in the Soudan, astonishing the Arabs by his horsemanship, and meddling in Egyptian politics.
