Albania and the Albanians in the German Travel Literature
Keywords:
Albania, Albanians, German travel literature.Abstract
The data about Albania and Albanians in the travel literature date back to the sixteenth century with Arnold von Harff, who made a glossary of some words when passing through Albania. These data continued in the travel literature over the following centuries and finished in the XX century. Aspects which describe the Albanian world may be listed as follows: description of the nature, description of Albanian towns and villages, description of the Albanian character, and physiognomy of the Albanians. These include either clichés or realistic views. Another aspect is the description of customs, customary law, daily life, family, marriage, taboos, etc. Another aspect is the description of religion and superstition among Albanians. As a last aspect, I can mention here the descriptions and portraits of politicians, as well as descriptions of historical events.
