Preface.
List of Illustrations.
Through BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA with a Paint Brush.
A vivid travelogue unfolds as the author wanders through the rugged landscapes of Bosnia and Herzegovina, capturing its towns, markets and mountain passes with a painter’s eye. Her sketches bring to life the bustling streets of Sarajevo, the stone arches of Mostar, and the serene countryside around the Buna spring, while her witty observations reveal the everyday charm of local customs and the lingering influence of the Austro‑Hungarian presence.
Set against a backdrop of diplomatic uncertainty—Europe debating the fate of the region—the narrative balances political intrigue with personal adventure. From storm‑tossed seas along the Dalmatian coast to quiet cafés where Hungarian bands play, the book offers a sensory portrait of a land on the cusp of change, inviting listeners to explore its hidden corners through both words and watercolor.
