BLACK LAMB AND GREY
FALCON
advertised By Stanley Sobari
By Rebecca West (1941) “All Central Europe seems to me to be
enacting a fantasy which I cannot interpret,” wires West in one of travel
literature’s most dizzying door-stoppers. This tale of a journey through
Yugoslavia in 1934 is a political portrait of the Balkans replete with
attitude, opinion, and conjecture-some outdated, some timeless.
