Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Reminiscences of a Bashi-Bazouk
I was at Podwoloczyska, a small village in austria-galicia, belonging to a wealthy nobleman, who owned many others like it in various parts of the Empire; for Austrian noblemen are the possessors of villages, as our own landed gentry are the possessors of farms; and, indeed, some have so many that it is no uncommon thing to hear of one or two changing hands at a fashionable club at Vienna, in just the time that it requires to play five points at écarté or a rubber at short whist.
