Picture from the Balkans/ John Foster Fraser – Londra: Cassell and Company MCMVI, 1906, 276 p., ill.


Contiene XXVII capitoli. Dal capitolo XXI fino al XXVII descrive il viaggio in Albania. Di seguito un estratto dal testo: "With map, coloured frontispiece and forty full-page plates form the photographs". Il viaggio in Albania si articola nei seguenti capitoli: "XXI – The quaint city of Ochrida pg. 218 XXII – The mountains of Albania XXIII - Elbasan XXIV - The Albanians XXV - Berat XXVI - Rough esperiences in the Mountanins XXVII - A night alarm. Uskup. The finish." Riportiamo la parte iniziale del capitolo XXIII, Elbasan: The central Town of Albania – Albania like Scotland and te Highlands in the Sixteenth Century – Chronic Guerilla Warface – Elbasa – Twenty or Thirty Murders a week – Ducks as Scavangers – Albanian Silk- The best Hotel at Elbasan – A Single – minded Landlord – Mr. Carnegie’s Fame. Were the Albanians to cease their vendettas, stop their clan wars, and cohere into a nation, Elbasan would be the capital. It is the most central town in Albania. But there is little chance of that taking place so long as the present blood courses in the veins of these mountain warriors. Like hillmen all the world over, they are much more independent, defiant, and even aggressive than peoples who live on the plain. To the north, in the Dibra district, a Turk’s life is not worth the tos of a medjedeh, so fierce is the hatred of the Albanians in that part. Further south the rancour against the ruling power is not so strong, and ebbs the further south one goes, until down near the Greek frontier it practically desappears. A week of hard travelling by horse will take one from the northern parts to the southern. In the course of the journey will be found very striking diffrences in feature. (…p.245)"
