Justin Godart a French humanist with very broad cultural interests; passionate and fond of literature and the arts; an art collector, patron, artist in his soul, and free and secular thinker undertakes a mission to discover Albania in 1921. The first passionate journey would be followed by seven other journeys. During these journeys Godart wrote notes in the form of impressions, evidences and considerations and also took pictures. He visited Albania from north to south, from west to east by criss-crossing the country, where he was greeted by a very welcoming nation, with bunches of flowers, gifts, and heartfelt and sincere honours. His journey records movements, meetings, towns and villages, acquaintance with the history of the Albanian lands, the ancient culture with customs of the social life, with the different religions, Albanian religious tolerance, traditions and clothing. The description of these places and people that he met during his visits is of an inquiring traveller and inventor, who is pervasive in the reality that he wants to know everything in an unknown reality. The descriptions are full of scenic locations, people’s name, dates, days, dialogues, itineraries, references to the history and culture of ancient Albania, and traces of an Albanian meeting place with a great French humanist. Godart has given a variegated picture by describing in details the magnificent landscapes of the Albanian mountains that create a very beautiful spectacle; he describes aspects of the material culture of Albanians including their houses, food, clothing and Albanian folk skills and artistry of the era; and he records dialogues with different characters and does not forget to provide in his notes details about the traditions, social relations, political and social situation in Albania. He portrays the Albanian people as ardent patriots who love the motherland and have national pride, intelligence and firmness. Political personalities, well-known intellectuals, but also citizens or villagers, who have invited him for coffee, lunch or dinner at their homes, have immensely allured Godart. Taking inspiration from the old settlements, old history and Albanian hospitality which cannot be repaid, and surprised by thousands of impressions written in his diaries and notebooks, Godart as a chronicler wrote the most important book of his life for the Albanians, in a simple style. The way the journey is realized has three thematic constants: the departure, the journey and the return. The departure from Paris to Rome was by train, and from Bari continued by boat to Albania; and the return itinerary was from Albania to Italy and then to France. The journey took place day and night using all means of transport: car, antique-wheeled cart, raft when the river Mat was crossed, by horse in rural northern Albania, and also on foot on the winding and dangerous trails to pass. The journeys are depicted with realistic colours, and Godart reveals a gallery of individuals with attributes and features of Albanians’ character as natives with prominent personality, dignity and intelligence.
