Tales from North Albania

Tales from North Albania is a collection of poems describing people, places, and cultural treasures from the northern region of this Western Balkan country. Come on a short tour of cities such as Lezhe, Peshkopi, Koplik, Tropoje, Shkoder, Theth, Shengjin, and even to the communist-era gulag of Spaç can still be visited today.
As millions of visitors flock to the south of Albania while the north grapples with depopulation and economic struggles, this book seeks to shine a light on the richness and beauty of its mountains, lakes, rivers, hills and traditions.
These are poems that hope to preserve a moment in time, while inspiring others to visit and explore for themselves.
