“Favourite” is the wrong word, but Rebecca West’s dedication in Black Lamb and Grey Falcon, her travelogue of pre-WW2 Yugoslavia gives me goosebumps every time I read it or think about it. Published in 1941, after the Nazi invasion. It reads:
“To my friends in Yugoslavia, who are now all dead or enslaved.”
