| Summary | "The Republic of Ragusa: An Episode of the Turkish Conquest" by Luigi Villari is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the intricate history of Ragusa (modern-day Dubrovnik) during a critical period marked by the Turkish conquest, highlighting its significance within the context of Dalmatian and broader European history. Villari explores the unique characteristics of Ragusa, including its geographical position, cultural influences, and the resilience of its inhabitants amidst varying powers vying for control. At the start of the narrative, Villari paints a vivid picture of the eastern Adriatic coastline, emphasizing its challenging natural landscape and rich history of conflict between various cultures. He introduces the city of Ragusa as a haven of Latin civilization surrounded by chaos from the Slavic and Turkish invasions, detailing how it emerged as a critical cultural and trade center. The opening portion contextualizes Ragusa's historical significance, as it served both as a refuge for displaced peoples and a negotiation ground between competing empires. Villari hints at Ragusa's enduring struggle for autonomy and cultural identity in an era when it faced threats from both internal strife and external forces.
