Unknown correspondence and manuscripts of the writer Ismail Kadare have been made public for the first time in an exhibition at the house-studio that bears his name.
The manuscript of "The General of the Dead Army", correspondence with the great French actor and director Michel Piccoli to make the film based on this work, as well as an original copy of the script are open to the public.
Among the documents that have been exhibited are also the manuscript of his work on Aeschylus, a summary or his first 'outline' for the work "Ancient Emblem", the penultimate manuscript of "Broken April" and the novel "The Great Winter" .
For the first time in the exhibition is the letter of the great German novelist, Gunter Grass, addressed to Kadare in 1987 on behalf of the Berlin Academy of Arts.
" He was looking for an Albanian writer, who had crossed the borders, to go to Amsterdam, to a European meeting that was going to be held, to talk about how the two blocs East and West should no longer be two political blocs that divide, but they would have to find bridges. According to Gunter Grass, this is also a mission of writers, not only politicians and civil society", said Anisa Ymeri, director of the Kadare studio house, for "Euronews Albania".
In the exhibition, a manuscript of the anthology of Albanian prose in France, written in 1980 by Kadare, was donated by researcher Xhevat Lloshi, who narrated the special story of a forced self-criticism of the writer.
"In the days before the plenary session, Ismail Kadare was asked to make a self-criticism in his speech. Ismail had not prepared the self-criticism. Then he was forced to add it there and I have the manuscript. Not only that, but I had taken the newspaper to press, the eight internal pages, and it may seem strange to you: 5 thousand pages of the newspaper were burned so that they would not be without his self-criticism" , said the researcher Xhevat Lloshi.
Therefore, the publisher of Kadare, Bujar Hudhri, emphasizes the importance of the exhibition.
" The only point where we meet is the manuscript. Kadareja being faithful to writing by hand, this has been a very beautiful, touching, significant connection but also with great responsibility ", said the publisher Bujar Hudhri.
In addition to the manuscripts, you will also find special details from the writer's life, such as invitations to participate in various activities, rare photos of him, where Kadare appears laughing, a painting-portrait with an unknown author. The exhibition was opened exactly in the month of the birth of the writer Ismail Kadare, the first without him.
