A Journey Beyond the Three Seas ("Хождение за три моря" in Russian, or Khozhdeniye za tri morya) is a Russian literary monument in the form of travel notes, made by a merchant from TverIndia in 1466-1472.
A Journey... was the first Russian literary work to depict a strictly commercial, non_religious trip. The author visited the Caucasus, Persia, India and the Crimea. However, most of the notes are dedicated to India, its political structure, trade, agriculture, customs and ceremonies. The work is full of lyrical digressions and autobiographic passages.
