O lecție franceză despre sud-estul Europei la începutul secolului al XIX-lea
A French lesson about Southeast Europe at the beginning of the nineteenth century

Summary/Abstract: At the end of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth century, the balanic space entered into the attention of foreign travelers, particularly those of France.The narratives of these travelers constituted the object of a "didactic work" (Principles of Geography, History for the Use of Young People) written by the lawyer Michel Lemoine and intended for young French noblemen.Although, at first glance, the work seemed to be an amalgam of geographical, economic, ethnic, linguistic and social-political information, it is sufficiently correct in the assessments. And all this despite the fact that it probably reproduces the images of geographical and historical South-Eastern Europe in the way they persisted in the French mentality of the late eighteenth century
