What People are Saying About This

Sheryl St. Germain

“In the spirit of Paul Theroux, Robert Isenberg takes us on an informative, spirited, and sometimes comic journey into the heart of the Balkans. You can’t finish this book without being moved by the landscape, the culture, and especially, the people Isenberg encounters along the way. With the skill of a master storyteller, he creates a narrative that’s hard to put down, and when you’re finished, you are closer to understanding this “nervous string” of countries.”

Editorial Reviews

The Archipelago: A Balkan Passage combines the best of the travel-writing, history and personal-memoir genres. It’s a journey not to be missed.”—Kristofer Collins, Pittsburgh Magazine
