Travel and garden splendor from a prince’s-eye view

A vivid slice of Maximilian I’s life as he wanders Madeira and nearby realms, savoring exotic plants, grand homes, and warm, often humorous encounters. This edition brings to life lush terraces, curious traditions, and the small comforts that make a long voyage feel like home. In these pages you’ll discover the author’s affectionate observations of tropical gardens, rare flowers, and architectural curiosities. The narrative moves between sun-soaked days in fair weather and the lively, sometimes sharp, social scenes that accompany travel in distant lands.

• Rich plant lists and garden portraits that read like a private nature guide.
• Vivid character sketches of hosts, gardeners, and the people met along the way.
• Scenes of travel by boat, palanquin, and villa life set against a dramatic landscape.
• contrasts between European comforts and colonial settings, with a historical travel mood.
