Written in 1916, A Balkan Freebooter is the sequel to the collaborative project The Luck of Thirteen, which American author and artist JAN GORDON (1884-1944) wrote with his wife, Core Josephine Gordon, about their adventures in Serbia. This is the transcription of a story told to Jan by Petko Moritch, a pseudonym used to protect Jan's acquaintance. Petko was something of Robin Hood in Serbia, falsely charged with murder for having punched an Austrian the day before Austrians came to power. Petko escaped prison and continued to escape each time was captured. He stole from the rich and gave to those who helped him, always eluding capture. A BALKAN FREEBOOTER provides readers with both harrowing adventure and an accurate depiction of the people of Serbia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Excerpt from A Balkan Freebooter: Being the True Exploits of the Serbian Outlaw and Comitaj Petko Moritch, Told by Him to the Author and Set Into English In order to understand this history of Petko Moritch, and to come to a just appreciation of his character, it is necessary to know something of the conditions in which he lived and under which he was brought up. Serbia, a fertile country of hills and small level valleys, had just struggled from the crushing suzerainty of the Turk, who still ruled over "the Sanjak of Novi Bazar" and over Macedonia. I imagine that slavery under Turkish jurisdiction is not quite the education to bring out those more delicate perceptions of justice and of honesty on which we highly cultivated nations pride ourselves, and in fact, Kara George, the brave, himself - the first great successful liberator of Serbia - was, according to Western notions, a callous scoundrel, for he shot his own father - so the tale runs - through the head, and bonneted his mother with a hive of bees. Unable to keep his country against the Turks, he fled into Austria in 1813. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Not illustrated. 1916 edition. Excerpt: ...When you are better we can talk over something. I want a partner, and I like your face." The next day Petko set out. He remained in Burgos two weeks when the claims of a mountain village on the Shipka Balkan attracted him, and he set off again, chasing health round Bulgaria. He had a companion, a Dalmatian, named Mecho. They tramped along enjoying the autumn weather, clambering higher and higher into the mountains. "Ha," cried Petko, filling his lungs with the fresh air from the Black Sea. "If that doesn't cure me?" Mecho tramped along. "We'll have to keep at it if we're going to reach that village to-night," he grumbled. The sun sank, bringing a sudden chill into the night air. Petko hugged his clothes tighter, his teeth began to rattle. "What is the matter?" asked Mecho. "Fever coming," chattered Petko. "You'll have to push on," said Mecho. Petko stumbled up-hill, every moment the control of his limbs grew weaker and weaker. His legs would not do as he wished, not that he could wish with much energy, the fever filled his brain. Still he stumbled on. Suddenly he fell forward on the ground, and lay clawing at the turf. "Come on," said Mecho. Petko made ineffectual attempts to rise. "I--I--it is no good, Mecho," he stuttered at last. "I can't get up." Mecho unshouldered his pack and sat down. "Will you be better in half an hour?" he asked. "I hope so," answered Petko. The fever was shaking his whole body. Dusk had fallen, and the trees now showed only like gloomy giants on the hillside. The world seemed to be swallowed up in a necromancer's pool of ink--dark, unreflecting, terribly mysterious. Suddenly Mecho...
