What do you do when you find yourself imprisoned in your room for six weeks? Xavier de Maistre found himself in this uneasy situation when he was arrested in Turin after a duel in the spring of 1790. But even confined to his room, he managed to fill his time by embarking on a journey around his bedroom.
