Travelogues

A completely new type of literature emerged with the Romantic period in the 19th century. Travellers to distant countries published a travelogue after their return, which was literally devoured by the population. The beginning of this literature was marked by such names as Alexander von Humboldt and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
