The Land of the Black Mountain: The Adventures of Two Englishmen in Montenegro is a travelogue written by Reginald Wyon and originally published in 1905. The book chronicles the journey of two Englishmen, Wyon and his friend, as they embark on an adventure through Montenegro, a small country in the Balkans. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which details the duo's experiences in different parts of the country. Wyon provides a vivid description of Montenegro's rugged terrain, its people, and their way of life. He also delves into the country's history, including its struggles against the Ottoman Empire and its eventual independence.Throughout the book, Wyon offers insights into the customs and traditions of the Montenegrin people, as well as their attitudes towards foreigners. He also recounts several exciting and dangerous encounters, including a run-in with bandits and a close call with a group of wolves.The Land of the Black Mountain provides a fascinating glimpse into a little-known corner of Europe at the turn of the 20th century. It is an engaging read for anyone interested in travel, history, or cultural anthropology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
