Croatia

The "extraordinary regionality" of Croatia is drawn through thoughtful portraits during a time of great transition. OR Written with sensitivity and balance, Fabijancic’s literate travel writing takes us to the heart of a fascinating land.

In his travels through Croatia, Tony Fabijancic saw a world of peasants, shepherds and fishermen irrevocably giving way to the new reality of a modern European state. With a deft and sure touch, he records moments that capture the lingering spirit of the old world even as the former fabric of this place is unravelling forever. The author's profound familiarity with the "extraordinary regionality" of Croatia leads to memorable images of the country, and to sketches and unhurried ruminations on its people, its landscapes, kitchens, cities, and coastlines.
