Croatia: Travels in Undiscovered Country

Norman P. Goldman is a retired Civil Law Notaire (Notary) who also
specializes in Montreal history and culture.

Mixing history, culture, and geography, this fascinating
travel-adventure book documents the author’s travels to the principal
cities and islands of Croatia: Pag, Zagreb, Prigorje, Zagorje, Salvonia,
Posavan, the Kvarner Islands, Povljana, Dalmatia, Dalmatian Islands,
Dubrovnik, Krajina/Herzegovina, and Istria. Fabijancic explores his own
roots as well as those of his parents, who emigrated from Croatia to
Canada. Throughout his travels, he seeks answers to the question,
“what makes a Canadian-born son of immigrants look back across the
ocean for a place to belong?”

Black-and-white photos capture the traditional ways of the Croatians,
as well as the beauty and grandeur of the country. In this inspiring
book, Fabijancic has admirably met his objective of “emphasizing facts
of a different order: the evanescent moment on the road that captured
the spirit of the old world still in evidence; the hidden or forgotten
crevices; the personal instead of the public; and the present still
permeated by a vital past.”
