Lynda Williams's Blog: Reality Skimming - Posts Tagged "dostoyevsky"

Geography isn't my strong suit. So I'm changing how I read and looking up places to locate them in my mental map - bad as it may be - to see if I can discover a new joy instead skipping over a chronic frustration.

First up - Wiesbaden of 1963 where Dostoyevsky initiated his decade of gambling addiction.

It's in Germany. Sort of central. I recognize Frankfurt as the nearest familiar landmark. Google maps says it is sunny there today!

Found a PDF describing how Wiesbaden was "the epitome of the society spa" in the 19th century. https://www.wiesbaden.de/en/medien/do...
