Long Life to Your Children! A Portrait of High Albania

" An enlightened volume on a country little known to the West. It provides insights into the Albanian culture which can instruct any other culture. Beautiful photographs and a clear, well-written text." - - Hugh Downs, host of ABC News 20/20.

This beautiful "must have" new book, Long Life to Your Children!, contains fascinating interviews and photographs that reveal the beauty and complexity of life in contemporary Albania. To discover how Albanians see the world and their place in it, Marjorie Senechal and Stan Sherer spent three months in the northern mountains, photographing and interviewing people of all ages and all walks of life, In Long Life to Your Children! (the title is an Albanian toast), ordinary men and women invite the reader into their homes and talk about their work, their children, their hopes, and the problems they face as their country emerges into the modern world after nearly 50 years of isolationist communism.

The text includes introductory chapters on Albanian history and customs as well as several photographic essays that convey a vivid sense of place. The book captures the beauty of the country, the warmth of the people, and the rigors of contemporary life.

MARJORIE SENECHAL, author of six books, is the Louise Wolff Kahn Professor of Mathematics at Smith College and director of its program in the History of the Sciences. An independent documentary photographer, STAN SHERER received a Fulbright Research Fellowship to photograph daily life in modern Albania.
