| Description: | Rare book about the Hutsul people of the Carpathian Mountains. From Wikipedia: The Hutsuls (alternatively spelled Huculs, Huzuls, Hutzuls, Gutsuls, Guculs, Guzuls, or Gutzuls) are an ethno-cultural group of highlanders who for centuries have inhabited the Carpathian mountains, mainly in Ukraine, but also in the northern extremity of Romania (in the areas of Bukovina and Maramures), as well as in Slovakia and Poland. Although Hutsuls have a distinct self-identity, there is an ongoing, and often politically charged, debate on whether the Hutsuls are of the Ukrainian or Rusyn ethnicity (opinions also vary over their status as a subgroup of the Ukrainian ethnicity itself), as well as whether they originated from the Romanian people. The Hutsuls inhabit areas situated between the south-east of those inhabited by the Boykos, down to the northern part of the Romanian segment of the Carpathians. |
