Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a vivid and harrowing portrait of Ottoman Bosnia in 1875, a year before a large-scale revolt erupted in the region. Drawing on first-hand accounts and deep knowledge of the Balkan landscape, the author exposes the brutal oppression faced by the subjugated Bosnian population under the Ottoman Empire. Through compelling narratives, the book delves into the complex dynamics between the ruling Muslim landowners, the Christian subjects, and the fragmented rural communities. It illuminates the suppression of education, the rampant corruption, and the constant threat of violence that characterized daily life for Bosnian Christians. The book sheds light on the root causes of the uprising, setting the stage for the subsequent conflicts that plagued the region for decades to come.

An interesting account of southern Bulgaria, Serbia, northern Albania, and Montenegro in the 1860's, written chiefly by Miss Mackenzie, and first published in 1867. The authors sympathized with the Serbs and southern Slavs, particularly women, who lived in oppressive conditions under Ottoman rule. Irby raised money to establish a Christian school for girls at Sarajevo in 1870. This second edition was revised and enlarged by Ms. Irby to include three additional chapters on Bosnia and her experiences there from 1875 to 1877 during the Serbo-Turkish War. Irby tended to refugeesand orphans who were comingfrom Bosnia to Slavonia. She builtorphanages and settlements for the homeless, and provided medicinefor the ill and wounded civilians and soldiers. By 1879 twenty-one Christian schools had been established and the following year the Sarajevo school which had closed in 1875 was reopened. In Bosnia Irby was revered for her dedicated humanitarian and educational work. She was awarded the Order of Saint Sava and the Order of the Cross of Takovo. Fifteen thousand people are said to have gathered in Sarajevo and Belgrade to mourn her death in 1911. Irby left all her property to the Bosnian Society for Education. Weber 770. cfBlackmer 1051.…
