Vlachica: Mountaintops Above a Stormy Sea of Contending Empires (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781664168060)

Who are the Vlachs? For the first time, Mirela Roznoveanu has put Europe's original people-her people-on the map. Living for millennia hidden high in the Balkan and Dalmatian mountains, above the shifting tides of empires, the Vlachs, or Arm穗s, have fiercely guarded the unity in variety of their ancient way of life. Their long silence breaks at last, overflowing with mythology, history, landscape, folklore, food, customs, clothing, music, magical realism, intrigue, passion, cruelty, poetry, tragedy, and comedy. Vlachica is a force of nature-total immersion in a rich, lost world.
