Montenegro Repeats Its Defiant Stand Through History
The narrative portrays Montenegro as a unique, unconquered land resisting oriental barbarism while travelers remark on Njegoush village, Montenegrin attire, and the stark mountain scenery. It contrasts centuries of independence with a modern journey ending at the capital Cettinje and a solitary inn. The passage then shifts to a historic account of James granting shares in a company, its fluctuating value from 1613 to 1889, and the vast nominal capital and water rights.
