"Au jeune royaume d'Albanie" by Gabriel Louis Jaray is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the complex landscape of Albania during a transformative period marked by its newfound independence and the turbulent political dynamics that accompany it. Jaray's narrative is driven by questions surrounding the identity and future of the Albanian nation, addressing whether it is a viable entity or merely a relic of the past, focusing on key locales like Vallona as significant centers of these shifting identities. The opening of the work sets the stage for examining Albania’s transition from a territory under Ottoman control to an independent state. It raises critical questions about the Albanians' national identity and their historical significance while navigating through the geopolitics of the region. Jaray recounts his travels to prominent Albanian regions, emphasizing Vallona's natural beauty and its strategic importance in the Adriatic. He depicts a vibrant mix of cultures, involves local leaders such as Ismaïl Kemal, explores the lingering feudal system, and highlights the foreign influences at play, particularly from Italy and Austria. Through vivid descriptions and insightful observations, the author aims to capture the social and economic conditions of Albanian life at this critical juncture, inviting readers to understand the intricate realities of the emerging Albanian state.
