Paris honored the literary giant, writer Ismail Kadare. A commemorative plaque will be placed on the Boulevard Saint Michele, near the house where Kadare lived and created for many years.
His daughter, Besiana Kadare, wrote in a Facebook post that this noble gesture by Europe honors not only the author, but also Albania and the contribution of our culture. She thanked Paris and France for this commemoration, which she described as full of light.
"Paris paid a fitting tribute to Ismail Kadare yesterday, in the city where he lived and created part of his universal work. The Paris City Council voted unanimously to place a commemorative plaque at our address 63 boulevard Saint-Michel 75005, where some of the brightest pages of Albanian literature were born. Kadare was a European conscience forged on Albanian soil. He described the identity and journey of the Albanian nation as profoundly European long before Brussels recognized it.
This noble gesture of Europe honors not only the author, but also Albania and the contribution of our culture in building the European spiritual civilization, beyond borders and politics. Sometimes it is others who remind us better of who we are and what we have given to the world. Thank you Paris and France for this bright commemoration”, wrote Besiana Kadare.
