Albanian writer Ismail Kadare, 88 years old, author of a monumental work under the communist tyranny of Enver Hoxha, died this morning.
"Kadare died of a heart attack," said a hospital in Tirana.
"He arrived there without signs of life, doctors performed cardiac massage, but he died at around 06:40 GMT (08:40 local time)," the hospital said.
Sarcastic ethnographer, novelist alternating the grotesque and the epic, IsmaIl Kadare explored the myths and history of his country, to unravel the mechanisms of a universal evil, totalitarianism.
Albania lived for decades under the dictatorship of Enver Hoxha, one of the most closed in the world.
" Communist hell, like any other hell, is suffocating," the writer told AFP, in one of his last interviews, in October.
"But in literature, it turns into a life force, a force that helps you survive, defeat the dictatorship head-on", he added.
"Literature gave me everything I have today, it was the meaning of my life, it gave me the courage to resist, happiness, hope to overcome everything" , he emphasizes. ATA
