Samenvatting
"Determined to discover the Albania that lies behind so many stereotypes and preconceptions, Robin Hanbury-Tenison and his wife Louella crossed the country on horseback, from Theth in the north to the border with Greece in the south. In the footsteps of Byron, Edward Lear and Edith Durham they crossed some of the most wild and arrestingly beautiful landscapes in Europe. Through soaring mountain ranges and hidden valleys they lived simply; staying in the homes of communities completely untouched by the twenty-first century and in towns bursting with artistic creativity. 'Land of eagles' is the story of a lyrical and dramatic journey, peppered with adventure and mishap, discovery and unexpected encounters. Adorned with the history, legends and literature of Albania and with the tales of... (Lees verder) past travellers, it is a luminous portrait of this mysterious and eccentric country, which has for too long been forgotten by Europe."--
