Remembered chiefly for his archaeological discoveries in Crete, Sir
Arthur John Evans (1851 1941) was also highly respected as an
expert on the Balkans, an area then little known. Evans describes
'a land and people among the most interesting in Europe', and in
1875 he was visiting for the third time. This trip found him
witnessing the outbreak of the revolt that saw Austria-Hungary take
control of Bosnia. Here, however, Evans explores Bosnia's rich
heritage with detailed ethnographic and anthropological
observations, alongside descriptive impressions of its people and
natural beauty. He returned in 1877 as a correspondent for the
Manchester Guardian, which resulted in his Illyrian Letters (also
reissued in this series). First published in 1876 and reprinted the
following year, the present work offers background not only to the
revolt in that country, but also to the later deadly conflicts that
would shake all of Europe.
