Sample Book Insights:
#1 The play, written by William Shakespeare, was performed as entertainment for the Twelfth Night celebrations. Its first recorded performance was in 1602, during the sunset of Queen Elizabeth’s reign. The play’s setting is in Illyria, a territory that was composed of all lands between Italy and Greece, and between the Adriatic Sea and the Danube River.
#2 The word Balkan is of Turkish origin, and refers to a forested mountain range that occupies most of what was once Yugoslavia. The name was used to refer to a range of mountains located within Bulgaria in the 1400s, but was incorrectly applied to all of south-eastern Europe.
#3 The term Balkans is used generically to describe this entire region, but when used specifically in the context of a mountain range, it only applies to the north-eastern part in what is now Bulgaria.
#4 The Adriatic coast of the Balkans is very rocky and mountainous, and is studded with islands of various sizes. The land there is difficult to farm, and many of the mountains are composed of limestone or some other marine-based rock in their lower parts and harder denser marble towards their tops.
