Grinlandia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Grinlandia (Russian: Гринландия) is the fantasy world where most of the novels and short stories of Alexander Grin take place. It is a land by the ocean, apparently far from Europe (as some characters speak about "sailing to Europe") but populated by people with vaguely Western European names and appearance. The name of the country is never mentioned, and the name Grinlandia is a creation of Grin's fans. The language spoken in Grinlandia is also never identified (though the novels themselves are written in Russian). There are several cities (Liss, Zurbagan, San Riole - all sea ports) mentioned in several of the novels, but none of them are identified as a capital.
