Book Description
Since the time of Leke Dukagjini in the 15th c., contemporary of Albania's hero Gjergji Skanderbeg, the name Gjomarku has been synonymous with valor, pride and honor. Through the centuries this family has sought to keep Northern Albania united in their beliefs, traditions and most of all their Catholic religion. During those tumultuous times under the Ottoman Empire's rule, the Gjomarku Kapidans bravely and courageously led their people through a number of wars. The losses were many. The triumphs even more. Ultimately, the years passed, the ravages of those wars, conflicts and final takeover by the Soviet backed Albanian communist regime took its toll on the House of Gjomarku. In this book written one of the last Kapidans of the House, you will understand the battles fought and turmoils endured, both physical and emotional. This book is not voluminous but the content is informative, on-point and instrumental in understanding the legacy the House of Gjomarku has passed on to future generations, near and far.

Book Description
Ann Bridge takes the little-known country of Albania for her background recreating the primitive grandeur of the country. The Albanian way of life demonstrates a noble standard of values that is rapidly disappearing under the pressure of modern materialism. Our protagonist is an unhappy and disillusioned young widow who travels to Albania as the result of a chance encounter on the Istanbul express. A fellow passenger tells her that there she will find a life that contains something far more satisfying than the restless gaiety of her cosmopolitan clique. Later, living in the feudal household of an Albanian prince, absorbing an atmosphere of immemorial dignity, and enjoying the friendship of two remarkable women – one a mature and cultured English writer, the other a wise old American doctor – she comes to understand what he had meant. And when, for the second time, she is faced with a tragic outcome to hopes of happiness in love, she is able to find solace among the granite heights and singing waters of Albania.

Book Description
Albania is not well known by outsiders; it was deliberately closed to the outside world during the communist era. Now it has thankfully become free again, its borders are open and it can be visited, and it is increasingly integrating with the rest of Europe and beyond. Unfortunately, Albania has had its share of problems in the post-communist era; it's a land of destitution and despair, thanks in part to the Albanian mafia, which has turned the country into one of blood-feuds, kalashnikovs, and eternal crises. Yet, Albania is, in essence, a European nation like any other and will soon, it is to be hoped, advance and take its proper place in Europe and the world. The second edition of the Historical Dictionary of Albania relates the history of this little-known country through a detailed chronology, an introduction, a bibliography, appendixes, and over 700 cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant persons, places, and events; institutions and organizations; and political, economic, social, cultural, and religious facets.

Book Description
The Civil War of 1402-1413 is one of the most complicated periods in Ottoman history. This book is the first full-length study of that chapter in history, which began with Timur's dismemberment of the early Ottoman Empire following his defeat of Bayezid 'the Thunderbolt' at Ankara (1402). This book is a detailed reconstruction of events based on available sources, as well as a study of the period's political culture as reflected in its historical narratives.
