This is an Albanian translation of "Captured by Brigands" (scroll for Albanian description below). In 1884, a young Albanian with a dream to change to his nation boarded a carriage bound for Kortcha-unaware that on the road ahead mountain pirates awaited him. In this Albanian language volume, Gerasim Kyrias recounts the true story of his capture and six months as a hostage. He describes the causes and the curse of brigandage and explains how his harrowing experience galvanized his resolve to lift his Albanian countrymen out of darkness. Gerasim Kyrias became Albania's first ordained Evangelical preacher and church planter, preaching to Albanian congregations in Thessaloniki, Monastir (Bitola), and Kor???a. He wrote and translated Christian hymns, founded the Albanian Gospel Brotherhood, and with his sister Sevasti established the first Albanian School for Girls in Kor???a. He is honored in Albania and in Macedonia as an illuminist, educator, and patriot.
