Shkruar nga Gjergj Zefi
The only god I believed in and where my image of freedom and intellectualism was dimensioned.
Today, the galaxy of the eternal Albanian-speaking constellation grew richer, while those of us who were lucky enough to live in his era lost our disciple.
Ismail Kadare's departure at dawn is perhaps the biggest event of the last 100 years. That's because geniuses like Him are so common that it seems like an intelligent approach by god to prove his existence.
Ismail Kadare's books were the only light at the end of the tunnel in my early youth.
They were the only hope, the only dream that motivated survival in search of freedom.
Kadare was the only star in the galaxy of darkness during his childhood and early youth.
The only god I believed in and where my image of freedom and intellectualism was dimensioned.
His voice is unique, he is not at all similar to what we call a "contemporary" writer, although he has always reacted to the times in which he lives. Reading it is like seeing the pendulum of centuries of Balkan history, and Europe's past and future swinging back and forth.
Any attempt to confuse Kadare with Enver Hoxha's regime is nothing but profanity and a perverse reading of literature, history and time.
Ismail Kadare was above the regimes!
Acknowledgment Prophet of Albanian thought!
