Alda Bardhyli, Director of the National Book and Reading Center, has spoken about the writer Ismail Kadare, who was almost arrested with the publication of the novel "Winter of great loneliness", but was saved by Enver Hoxha since the dictator was a character in the novel.
" He makes the most interesting confrontation in the history of world literature between dictatorships and writers, where for the first time a writer decides to face the dictator and turn him into a character. The meeting took place in 1971, almost two years before the publication of "The Winter of Great Loneliness", a historical work in which Enver Hoxha himself was a character.
The focus of this meeting was to obtain data and memories from this historical moment, which in one way or another put Kadare in the biggest test of his life. In today's context it reads like a contemporary novel. His relationship with Enver Hoxha was a delicate relationship as the published documents have shown. He was a writer who was the focus of the regime.
With the publication of "The Winter of Great Solitude", it was banned, there was a campaign. Kadareja was the only moment closer to prison and it was Enver Hoxha who saved him. It was no small thing for a dictator to be a character in a book. To be in a book is to be forever. Let's not forget that Enver Hoxha came from French culture. He was a person who followed literature. In the 70s with the publication of other novels, "Palace of Dreams" in the francophone world, Kadareja became invulnerable to the regime ," she said in "Open" on News 24.
