Facsimile reprint of the original edition published by Edward Arnold in 1909, with an added introduction by John Hodgson. "The celebrated account of the late Victorian traveller who became a legend in her own lifetime through her extraordinary travels in the Balkans. Born in 1863, the daughter of a distinguished surgeon, Edith Durham began her career as an artist and illustrator. Following her doctor's orders after an illness and depression, she sailed to Montenegro and began a life-long love affair with the Balkans. In a letter she writes, "It occurred to me that the vexed question of Balkan politics might be solved by studying the manners and customs of each district, and so learning to whom each place should really belong." Thus she cheerfully started on her expeditions that, she was well aware, ignored the intrigues of the Great Powers who were actively encouraging the dismemberment of the Turkish Empire. This is a passionate and flamboyant account of her travels, particularly in the mountainous terrain of northern Albania, where she cut a strange figure in her waterproof skirt and Scotch plaid golf cape but won the trust of the people there." With an added introduction by John Hodgson. (xvi + 352p.) illus map. index Book
Albania, that remote, unknown land, has found its voice in the novels of Kadare. In this one . he takes as his subject the shattering impact of World War II as that cataclysm is lived by a small, immensely sensitive boy. After centuries of bondage to the Turks of the Ottoman Empire, Albania falls to the invading Italian fascists, then the Greeks, the Italians again, then the Nazi hordes. Amid floods, British bombing, the action of partisans, the boy undergoes another kind of turbulence, that of growing up, the inner and outer experience ringing strange harmonies. He responds to the beauty of unattainable women, to witchcraft, literature, and later, when he is evacuated from his "stone city" to peasant and village life. Now his existence will be "marvelous, terrifying and extraordinary." Instead, it is primitive, barbaric, a world where the severed arm of a British airman becomes a talisman and "deflowered" girls disappear, possibly murdered by their fathers. Kadare commands a tumultuous, whirling scene as he brings his homeland into the literary mainstream.Man Booker International prize 2005. Edited with an introduction by Davis Bellos. 299p. Book
"Hard-nosed yet ultimately endearing, Costas Haritos is a veteran junta-trained homicide detective on the Athens police force. He is uncomfortably married, can"t stand his daughter"s boyfriend, and after a day of constant gridlock and smog, tight-lipped witnesses, and the relentless crush of the media, he relaxes by reading dictionaries. When an Albanian husband and wife are found dead in their home, Inspector Haritos is called to what seems to be an open-and-shut case. For the Greek police, two dead Albanians are hardly a matter of concern, and after the primary suspect confesses under duress, the case is closed. But when the country"s celebrity TV news reporter, Janna Karayoryi, hints that there may be more to it, Haritos becomes unnerved. He doesn"t exactly like the ambitious young journalist, much less the ruthless way she has risen to the top; but could she be right in thinking the murder has something to do with babies? Before Haritos can find out, Janna is silenced suddenly and chillingly, moments before she is to go on the air with a startling newsbreak. Did her mysterious report have something to do with the murdered Albanians? Who wanted her out of the way and why? Caught between a bumbling junior officer and higher-ups all too easily influenced by news executives who are determined to protect their own, Costas Haritos sets out to get to the bottom of the matter-and ends up exploring a dark underworld of post-dictatorship capitalism."
