Two young Englishmen travel from Cattaro up to Cetinje and on through the mountains of Montenegro, meeting Prince Nicholas, visiting the prison and barracks, and riding into the tense Albanian borderland. They describe a fiercely armed, proud and hospitable people they compare to Homer’s Greeks, with chapters on Montenegrin history and government.
A spirited portrait of the small Balkan principality before the wars that redrew its borders. Download the free EPUB.
