This is the story of an anthropological expedition to Albania in 1929. The author, an Albanian educator, accompanied Dr. Carleton S. Coon of Harvard University. He said that his motive in writing the book was to given an account of the rugged Highlands as seen by an Albanian, in contrast to "travel accounts written by foreign visitors" to Albania. The book presents a faithful portrayal of Northern Albania as it was some seventy years ago. Dr. Coon called the book "a remarkably full and enjoyable ethnography of a people and their culture undergoing rapid change."
The late Stavre Frasheri was a teacher in Albania in the early part of the twentieth century. The late Dr. Carleton S. Coon was a professor of anthropology at Harvard University. Peter Prifti is a leading specialist in Albanian culture and politics and Professor Emeritus of linguistics at the University of California, La Jolla.
