Op het Balkan-schiereiland by Percy E. Henderson
"Op het Balkan-schiereiland" by Percy E. Henderson is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. The book explores the lesser-known regions of the western Balkans, including Bosnia, Herzegovina, Dalmatia, and Montenegro, highlighting their natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and historical significance. The author seeks to provide insights into these captivating locales, enticing readers to discover the vibrant landscapes and unique customs of the people living there. The opening of the text
sets the stage for an exploration of the Balkans, noting the surprising lack of tourist visits to these stunning areas despite their accessible location and distinctive charm. Henderson describes the allure of regions like Bosnia—with its picturesque forests and remnants of ancient castles—and Dalmatia, known for its scenic coastlines and artistic inspiration.
