After Yugoslavia (Lonely Planet Journeys) by Zoe Bran

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 18:46:27 +0000

I visited Yugoslavia in 1978 as a tourist hoping for a good time; I returned 21 years later to a changed land.Sarajevo, Mostar, Dubrovnik . . . the names are carved into the psyche of anyone who watched a news broadcast between 1991 and 1996. Zoë Brân visited these places long before the crises of the 1990s, and returned to try to make sense of what had happened in the intervening years – and why.Zoë’s compelling journey takes her from forward-looking Slovenia through beautiful but troubled Croatia, to the country most damaged by the conflict, Bosnia-Hercegovina. She explores the region’s complex history and, as she delves into recent conflicts, lets those who lived through them tell their own stories. With compassion and objectivity, she asks what it is that sets apart one neighbour from another, and in almost every case receives the answer ‘Tradition.’In the Krajina region of Croatia, an elderly Serb man, home after enduring four years in a refugee camp in eastern Serbia, ‘We went to school together and married each other and then we fought. For what? For this?’ He pointed at the almost empty landscape around him. ‘No, it was for tradition . . . for traditions we hardly remember the beginnings of any more.’

A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush

Wed, 14 May 2025 11:04:55 +0000

A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush is a 1958 book by the English travel writer Eric Newby. It is an autobiographical account of his adventures in the Hindu Kush, around the Nuristan mountains of Afghanistan, ostensibly to make the first mountaineering ascent of Mir Samir. Critics have found it comic, intensely English, and understated. It has sold over 500,000 copies in paperback. The action in the book moves from Newby’s life in the fashion business in London to Afghanistan. On the way Newby describes his very brief training in mountaineering in North Wales, a stop in Istanbul, and a nearly-disastrous drive across Turkey and Persia. They are driven out to the Panjshir Valley, where they begin their walk, with many small hardships described in a humorous narrative, supported by genuine history of Nuristan and brief descriptions of the rare moments of beauty along the way. Disagreements with Newby’s Persian-speaking companion Hugh Carless, and odd phrases in an antique grammar book, are exploited to comic effect. The book has been reprinted many times, in at least 16 English versions and in Spanish, Chinese and German editions. While some critics, and Newby himself, have considered Newby’s Love and War in the Apennines a better book, A Short Walk was the book that made him well-known, and critics agree that it is very funny in an old-school British way.
