The outlaws of Transcarpathia – excerpts from a book written in 1934 by Czech writer, journalist Ivan Olbracht. The book was translated by Zádor András and
published in Hungarian in Bratislava in 1987. The author travelled regularly to Transcarpathia between 1931 and 1938; at the time the region belonged to Czechoslovakia. This selection gives historical information about outlaws in the region, their lore, legend, with facts and particulars on the story of an outlaw named Oleksza Dovbus [here with Hungarian phonetics] who was active between 1738 and 1745.
