But Stevo Stepanovski and his remarkable collection of 20,000 books passed down in his family from generation to generation stayed put in his almost abandoned valley. The library began with Stepanovski's great-grandfather who was given his first tranche of books by passing Ottoman soldiers in the late 19th century. (Photo by Robert ATANASOVSKI / AFP)
