KADARE BETWEEN EAST AND WEST

Anyone who has studied and heard about Ismail Kadare, his figure stood out not only in literature but also in the national field with a single goal, to see the albanians on a straight and prosperous path. Living almost half a century, among the communist crap that was the biggest hell in the history of the albanian people, his generosity triumphed when his personality was defined for a Europe where albanians would be able to create extraordinary sympathy, against it, which would fill their souls with peace and in the character of his people expand the borders of European identity. Not for nothing, criticism today hasdifferent notions about Kadare's personality, as a writer of great global proportions, and the other that through his figure he raised the albanian nation to an important world pedestal. Based on the fact that Kadare lived between two opposite poles from a fearful and dictatorial communist savagery, towards another European pole that was inviting him into its bosom, as an individual of an Albania that was giving its last breath, but whose mind and the conscience of a writer were moments of pride, because she was honoring the greatest man of albanian letters, that is necessary albanians through Kadare could build a European identity, in a country where the dictatorial barbarism installed in Albania had already been cemented and was killing the conscience of many writers, that Kadare was also going through this rave. His figure reached even greater fame, when in the 90s, the communist system fell, and he became part of the famous European elite that he had dreamed of for years.
