This is the first full account of a country that, following decades of isolation, has undergone unprecedented changes to its political system: the collapse of communism, the progression to multi-party elections and the upheaval that followed the March 1997 uprising. Miranda Vickers traces the history of the Albanian people from the Ottoman period to the formation of the Albanian Communist Party. She considers the charismatic leadership of Enver Hoxha; Albania's relationship with Tito and the alliance with the Soviet Union and then China; and the long period of isolation. Newly revised for this paperback edition, The Albanians considers the gradual process of reform and the fragility of the Albanian experiment with democracy, and includes a dramatic account of the days leading up to Sali Berisha's resignation of the presidency. It has now been updated to cover the fight for independence in Kosovo and the progress of Albania's application to join the EU.

Professor Skendi, a native of Albania, traces the progress and setbacks of Albania's long struggle for national unity during this least-known period of its intricate history. He discusses the heritage of its people and examines in detail the developments that led to Albanian independence: national resistance to the decisions of the Congress of Berlin, later opposition to Turkey, and the struggle between the Albanians and the Young Turks. Consideration is given to such internal problems as geographic configuration, religious and political division, and to such external problems as Italo-Austrian rivalry, political interference from neighboring states, and the involvement of great powers. Originally published in 1967. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Many Albanians, who are descended from the Illyrians and Pelasgians, trace their roots to Achilles and other heroes of the siege of Troy, and claim Alexander the Great as their own. During twelve consecutive periods of foreign domination, the ethnic identity of the Albanians has been constantly threatened, first by the Eastern and Western empires of Christendom, then by the Ottoman Turks, and most recently by Soviet and Chinese communists.

In the cradle of the Balkans, where mountains kissed the skies and rivers whispered forgotten tales, a land of ancient wonders and historical mystique existed—the land of the Ancient Albanians. This captivating book, "The Albanian Odyssey: Unraveling the Ancient Tapestry," embarks on a journey through time, revealing the untold stories of a resilient nation that has left an indelible mark on the world. Long before recorded history, the Albanians inhabited the region, shrouded in enigma. Chapter by chapter, we will explore their enigmatic origins, unearthing the connections between the Illyrians, an ancient and proud people, and the enigmatic Palasgians. The cradle of Albania's cultural heritage, Butrinti, whispers secrets of a 6000-year-old history, offering glimpses into the lives of its people and the emperors and royalty who once graced its hallowed grounds. We will walk in the footsteps of the likes of Augustus and Caesar, tracing their encounters with this ancient land. An enthralling chapter awaits as we delve into the essence of the Albanian language, a linguistic treasure that bridges the past with the present. Its evolution and influence are undeniable, intertwining with those of Macedonians, Greeks, Romans, and Turks. This book takes a fascinating turn as it explores the Albanian influence on historical figures who left an indelible mark on the world stage. From Muhammad Ali Pasha, the founder of Egypt with Albanian roots, to the valiant Gjergj Kastrioti (better known as Skanderbeg) and even a connection to the mighty Alexander the Great himself, these tales will evoke emotions of pride and admiration. We will pay tribute to one of the world's most beloved figures, Mother Teresa, whose Albanian heritage embodied boundless compassion and love for humanity. Marin Barleti, an esteemed historian, will take us on a historical rollercoaster, unraveling Albania's past to preserve its cultural memory. The far-reaching influence of Albanians extends even to the heart of the Vatican, where Pope Clement XI served as a shining beacon of faith, pride, and wisdom. Their contributions to art, literature, science, and more have indelibly shaped the world we know today. Join us as we celebrate the modern Albanian identity, forged through centuries of perseverance, valor, and passion. Through the emotional and heartwarming accounts of their journey, we will gain a profound understanding of the indomitable spirit that has made the Albanians an indispensable thread in the tapestry of humanity. So, dear reader, buckle up for a ride through time and emotion as we unravel the epic tale of the Ancient Albanians—a tale of courage, love, and a legacy that stands tall amid the ebb and flow of history.

This work, first published in 1985, is an analysis of the syntax of the Albanian verb complex. The term "verb complex" is defined here as the verb stem and its conjugational endings, together with the perfect auxiliaries and verb clitics. In a wider sense the verb includes the verb and its central arguments: subject, direct object, and indirect object. The analysis is presented in a somewhat expanded version of the relational grammar framework of Perlmutter and Postal (1977). It is argued that by assuming the existence of multiple levels in the syntactic structure of a clause, it is possible to account for the distribution of active and non-active verb forms over the various constructions of Albanian with a single generalisation. This title will be of interest to students of language and linguistics.

Rosa is a young woman from a small, country town in Australia who longs for mystery, adventure, and the exotic. She is fatally attracted to a romantic image of Eastern Europe, arriving alone in Dubrovnik in the months before the implosion of the old Yugoslavia. Rosa has no idea of the politics, yet she ends up dangerously drawn into a relationship with a young Albanian on his path to becoming a political refugee. Unable to tease apart destiny, reality, and fantasy, she becomes a captive of her heart and the excitement and danger of the unknown.

Kosovo's declaration of independence in 2008 - and the overt manipulation of this precedent by Russia in its war with Georgia and South Ossetia shortly afterwards - has focused the world's attention once again on the Balkans. But Albania's role within the region remains little known and less understood. In this revised edition of a major work of contemporary history, two well-known and internationally-respected authorities elucidate Albania's place in the Balkans, from the explosion of violence in the 1990s, which brought the country to the brink of civil war, to the present day. Since 1997, the Albanian region has been forced simultaneously to come to terms with the realities of a post-Communist world and the threat of Slobodan Milosevic's 'Greater Serbia' project. Its people, the authors, argue are involved in the process of national self-emancipation: the re-establishment of free markets and ending of Communist border controls have renewed long dormant cultural and economic links between the Albanian people and the wider region. The future of the Albanians in the Balkans is the most pressing issue in the region today, a fact which the West must pay close heed to if this long neglected nation is to become a European partner. Indeed, the authors argue, in this rapidly evolving political climate, failure to come to terms with the importance of the Albanian question could return the region as a whole to armed conflict.

Thanks to its half-century under Communism, as well as its little-known language, Albania has suffered from neglect and a sense of isolation. Yet, as this study helps to show, the Albanian lands have a long history of interaction with others. They have been a meeting-ground of Christianity and Islam; a channel through which Venice connected with the Ottoman Balkans; a place of interest to the Habsburgs; and a focus for the ambitions of neighbouring powers in the late Ottoman period. Albanians themselves could have many different identities. The studies in this volume, by one of the world's leading experts on Albanian history, range from the fifteenth century to the twentieth, taking in politics, social history, religion and diplomacy. Each is based on original research; the longest, on Ali Pasha, uses a wealth of manuscript material to tell, for the first time, the full story of the vital role he played in the international politics of the Napoleonic Wars. Other studies bring to life ordinary individuals hitherto unknown to history: women hauled before the Inquisition, for example, or the author of the first Albanian autobiography. Some of these studies have been printed before (several in hard-to-find publications, and one only in Albanian), but the greater part of this book appears here for the first time. This is not only a landmark publication for readers interested in south-east European history. It also engages with many broader issues, including religious conversion, 'crypto-Christianity' among Muslims, methods of enslavement within the Ottoman Empire, and the nature of modern myth-making about national identity.
