Paperback. Condizione: As New. High Albania (2000) by Edith Durham ? Condition: Good (Crappy Old Books) Edith Durham was not the kind of Edwardian lady who stayed home to embroider doilies. In 1908 she strapped on her boots, packed her notebooks, and wandered into the rugged mountains of northern Albania?territory that, at the time, was considered wild, lawless, and faintly alarming to polite European society. The result was High Albania , her now-classic travelogue. This Phoenix Press 2000 reprint (ISBN: 9781842122075) brings back Durham?s vivid portraits of tribal life, blood feuds, hospitality rituals, and landscapes so steep they make your calves ache just reading about them. Durham had an artist?s eye and an anthropologist?s ear, and she records everything with precision and affection?while never losing her knack for a wry aside. She describes armed shepherds as casually as others might describe gardeners, and captures a way of life poised between tradition and modernity. High Albania is at once reportage, adventure story, and cultural document: a book that has outlived empires and still rings true. Now, this particular copy comes from the wayward shelves of Crappy Old Books , and it?s rated Good . Which in our plainspoken lingo means: the cover may show a bit of edge wear (a scuff here, a softened corner there), the pages have mellowed into a comfortable shade of cream, and there might be the faintest hint of previous journeys?perhaps a crease where someone paused mid-blood-feud anecdote. But the spine is strong, the binding intact, and every Albanian mountain path is still mapped out in Durham?s prose. In short: High Albania is a classic of travel writing?intrepid, sharp-eyed, and full of charm. This copy is in Good condition: sturdy, seasoned, and ready to escort you up the mountains without so much as a blister. Another adventurous survivor from Crappy Old Books, where even Edwardian explorers march on.
