metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The paper deals with the specific plot features of a popular Swedish travelogue My
  Son on the Galley (1781) in which Jacob Wallenberg describes his journey from Sweden
  to China in 1769–1771. The object of analysis is the general plot structure in travel
  novels (using Mikhail Bakhtin’s terminology) and travelogues. As a result, it is proved
  that My Son on the Galley is a travelogue with a linear, chronological plot structure. It
  includes not only description of the itself and documentary information (about the geographical
  and demographic position of the countries visited by the narrator, descriptions
  of local nature, traditions, etc.), but also there are adventurous episodes (for example,
  about old maids, frightened by the appearance of the Swedes; about the ship, which the
  sailors mistook for a pirate one, etc.) in the text. Digressions from the main theme — the
  journey — are interspersing as colorful illustrations of the thoughts of the narrator, and
  as natural-geographical, ethnographic, cultural content etc. which are so typical for travelogues,
  although they do not play significant role in this book. The main object for the
  narrator is not visit to one country or another, but secondary details of the surrounding
  reality, as well as author’s thoughts inspired by the journey. There are also chapters that
  deal with things that are not directly related to the journey (for example, domestic violence
  and infidelity of wives). The travelogue My Son on the Galley stands at the origins
  of Swedish sentimentalist prose, which was developed at the end of the 18th century.
