Book Review
(Note: Our book reviews are reviewed for their
substance on Macedonia and Macedonians.
Therefore, a book that may not be primarily about
Macedonia or Macedonians will still be reviewed, but
mostly for its content relating to Macedonians.)
Our first review is of A Balkan Freebooter: Being the
True Exploits of the Serbian Outlaw and Comitaj
Petko Moritch, Told by Him to the Author and Set
into English written by Jan Gordon in 1915.
This book is set in the late 1800s and is based on the
life of Petko Moritch, and more specifically, about his
Robin Hood adventures in Serbia and Macedonia.
Although most of these events are likely true, it is not
clear if the author sought sources other than the
mouth of Petko (whose real name is kept hidden),
whether to confirm the stories or to fill in blanks.

Book Club
Our purpose for doing book reviews is two-fold:
first, we want to expose Macedonians to books
about Macedonia and Macedonians; and second,
we want Macedonian-Americans to start book
clubs in their communities. You could meet once
or twice a month, at your cultural center or
house, and talk and discuss books related to
Macedonians or written by Macedonians. Its a
great way to learn about Macedonia and a
reason to meet up with fellow Macedonians.
Give it a try, start a Macedonian Book Club in
your community!

Division for Fabricating Historical Documents,
