| Summary |
"Through the Land of the Serb" by M. E. Durham is a historical travel account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the rich culture, political tensions, and landscapes of the Balkans, particularly focusing on Montenegro and Serbia. Through the author's journey, readers are introduced to various towns, historical landmarks, and the myriad people who inhabit these regions, revealing the often complex interplay of national identity and history in the area. The opening of the narrative begins with the author's arrival in Cattaro and the initial observations of the local people, providing a rich tapestry of the social and political atmosphere of the time. As the author travels through Montenegro, she describes her encounters with local families, the desolate yet majestic landscapes, and the contrasting opinions of residents regarding the ongoing political tensions with Austria. This section poignantly captures the essence of the Montenegrin spirit and the people's longing for freedom, setting the stage for an exploration of both the geographic and cultural terrains she will traverse throughout her journey.
