In the Balkans today Communism, with its dynamic drive for power
and sense of mission, is charging against the Balkan peasant mass,
a patient, religious, tradition-bound people tilling their beloved
soil. Dragalevtsy, the Balkan village described by Mr. Sanders,
brings this struggle into focus. The book details the way of life
of a tranquil rural folk clinging to a Bulgarian mountainside, in
the shadow of a twelfth- century monastery -- their history,
economic system, marriage customs, family life, and reluctant
yielding to the ways of the western world. On September 6, 1944,
Dragalevtsy peasants awoke to find posters in the streets
proclaiming the advent of Communism. The concluding chapters of the
book give a vital, personalized insight into the economic and
social forces now at work in the Balkans.
