In describing the world of his works, Goncharov said, “I write with instinct and imagination, so I am a writer of the subconscious who writes with the heart rather than the mind.”
The Frigate Pallada by Ivan Goncharov received literary spotlight as a world travelogue in the mid- 19th century. It was a bestseller among the people of the time who longed to travel, including the young Anton Chekhov. Another aspect of The Frigate Pallada that drew attention was that it was a 'food travelogue' which introduced the cuisine of Britain, Japan, and other countries.
Russia was the first Western country to name the West Island (Seodo) and the East Island (Dongdo) of Dokdo. Commanded by the Russian admiral Putyatin, Pallada explored the eastern coast of Korea, and it was the corvette Olivutsa that discovered Dokdo while accompanying Pallada in its exploration. Russia identified the exact locations of the Western Island and the Eastern Island and marked the name Dokdo from having explored the eastern coast of Korea in the mid-19th century. This reveals that Russia also identified Dokdo as Korean territory at the time.
