About This Book

A travel narrative recounts an extensive pedestrian tour across Bosnia and Herzegovina undertaken as local unrest erupted, combining first-hand itinerary notes and practical advice for hardy travellers. It offers ethnographic observations of the South Slavic peoples, including Muslim communities, and vivid descriptions of mountain, forest, and townscapes, often illustrated with sketches and photographs. Interwoven are a historical review tracing religious and political developments, pointed criticism of Ottoman administration, and reflections on the diplomatic context and reform possibilities.
