Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bulgaria Mission: Of the Methodist Episcopal Church It would be difficult, perhaps, for the average American to form an accurate conception of the Bulgaria of to-day. During its recent newspaper notoriety, some persons who are especially interested in the curious corners of the earth have probably learned that Bulgaria, as now organized, lies in the middle, northern and southern parts of the Balkan peninsula, with Roumania on the north, Servia on the west, the Black Sea on the east, and on the south the narrow strip of territory still left to the Ottoman Government in Europe, and properly called European Turkey. The Danube forms the country´s northern boundary to a point near the Black Sea where the bend of the river northward is marked by the city of Silistria. The Rhodope range of mountains, with spurs varying from low ridges toward the sea, to snowy Rilski spires on the west, forms the frontier toward Turkey. Within the territory so bounded lies the Balkan principality of Bulgaria. The capital is at Sofia on the southern side of the "Stara Planina," or main Balkan range, near the western extremity of the country. The area in square miles is a little more than half that of the State of Illinois. It is everywhere dominated by the Balkan Mountains, the main range of which runs nearly due east and west till, near the western border, it turns sharply to the north and itself becomes the Servian frontier, so filling the land with its spurs and secondary ranges that even from the widest valleys some mountain heights are always visible. Along the Danube and toward the sea there is a strip of level bottom-land, but this slopes abruptly to the Balkan hills and there, as in the broad, central valley at Plovdev (Philippopolis), the horizon is ever bounded by gray, craggy Balkan rocks.
