Kristo Frash‘ri's The History of Albania (A Brief Survey) takes the reader through all the major events in the history of the Albanian people, detailing all the human activity that has taken place on today's Albanian soil, going back to the ancient Illyrians, of whom modern Albanians are descendants of. The reader gets a sense of the brutal and weighty oppression and profound sufferings through centuries of Byzantine, Ottoman and Italo-German occupation. But through these ages, never has the Albanian put down his weapon, and this has distinguished him among nations. In its history of resistance, Albania is given vitality and life. One can never forget the great anti-Turkish rebellion of Gjergj Kastroti-Skanderbeg, the father of Albania, who hoisted the double-headed eagle at Kruja, held off the Ottoman hordes with a small army and few means for 40 years at a time when no other European could defeat Turkey. Nor can one forget the struggle led by the League of Prizren and, later, Ismail Qemali after the Congress of Berlin arbitrarily divided up autochthonous Albanian territory between regional powers -- on November 28, 1912, Albania by virtue of the Congress of Vlora won its independence. Nor can one forget the legendary epic of the Anti-Fascist National Liberation War, with Comrade Enver Hoxha at the head. The nazi-fascist occupiers threw hundreds of thousands of soldiers at little Albania, but the Albanian, with no outside aid, liberated himself. If there is a red thread throughout Albanian history, it is that despite tremendous crimes committed against Albania, she has been defeated but never conquered, she has the honour of being defended by a people who can never be put down, either by the word or by force. It is a history which has never been appreciated by foreigners, but when one gets close to it, one feels closer than flesh to the bone.

Not quite as good as top name brands but pretty decent so far for the money
Style: 7" Swim Trunk, Color: Black, Size: Large
I compare these to the Columbia version with similar design. I ordered the large, which is my Columbia size. I note that the Amazon version was slightly tighter in the waist and the lining was significantly tighter in the legs. The elastic bands are both well structured and not flimsy. I live in Florida and I wear these swim trunks as my everyday outdoor shorts, whether working in the yard, biking, walking, or whatever. I note that when I tried to wear these in my exercise classes, the legs tend to stick and not slide up the legs when I squat, which is not a problem with the Columbia shorts. Lest you think it unfair to compare these two brands, Columbia puts their shorts on sale a couple of times a year for about the same price. Of course, you have to pay attention regularly to their website and it doesn't help if you need shorts now. I will continue to use these shorts for outdoor work and activities and they seem to be holding up fine for now. Next time I will probably get the XL for comfort if Columbia doesn't have a big sale (unless I can manage to lose a little visceral fat I have collected the last few years!). One other positive and one negative. I like that the black shorts have a black tie string, but the blue pants have a white string which shows dirt and looks a bit cheaper than if the string was blue. White is fine for swim trunks, but when they are used as all purpose volley shorts it doesn't show well with white string. I saw some complaints in the comments saying these shorts were not quick drying. I note they are every bit as fast drying as my Columbia and Nike shorts which are advertised as quick drying. As you might imagine a few hours working in the Florida sun I can sweat a ton so I can certainly judge drying speed.
