"Early in the spring of 1932, when I received a Guggenheim Fellowship requiring me to go to Europe for a year, I was thirty-three and had been in the United States for nineteen years. At fourteen--a son of peasants, with a touch of formal "city education"--I had emigrated to the United States from Carnoila, then a tiny Slovene province of Austria, now an even tinier part of a banovina in the new Yugoslav state." He recorded his impressions and provided a very interesting account of the country, its people and traditions before civil unrest, the Nazi invasion and Communism changed it forever. 370p.+ 16 leaves of photographic plates. s. index maps on end papers [Bookplate of previous owner] Book
