Episode: from the ancient Greek epeisódion, meaning the addition. The adventure, the interlude, the intermezzo, the event, the incident, the fleeting experience, the story... The Albanian episodes outline ten years of travel and stays in Albania: from the cursed mountains in the north to the southern coast, from Saranda through Gjirokastra to Lake Ohrid. They lead to remote villages, the capital, and the recent history of Albania, to deserted bays and up into the high mountain ranges. Jörg Dauscher invites the reader to partake in an unparalleled journey through a constantly changing, scenically beautiful, and culturally unique country, which until recently was mistakenly regarded as dangerous territory for foreigners.
