It is a short historic view of this genre, where the most essential points of formation of which are touched, from the first novel to the contemporary. Trying to give a glimpse of the story of the Albanian novel, besides beginning the cultivation of this genre in our literature, we have also talked about the novel written during our national and post-Renaissance period, about the novel written after the end of the Second World War, the Albanian novel, written and published in Kosovo, as well as the novel written in Albania after the collapse of the dictatorial communist system. So we tried to include almost all literary and historical periods, so that our brief panorama is more clear and comprehensive. In a word, we tried to make a genre history that is great for studying our literature, especially the Albanian novel.

    INTRODUCTION Faïk bey Konitza (1875-1942) was one of the great figures of Albanian intellectual culture in the early decades of the twentieth century and was no doubt the first Albanian whom one might consider to have been a real European. Konitza was born on 15 March 1875 in the now village of Konitsa in the Pindus mountains in northern Greece, not far from the present Albanian border. After elementary schooling in Turkish in his native village, he studied at the Jesuit Saverian College in Shkodra which offered him not only some instruction in Albanian but also an initial contact with central European culture and Western ideas. From there, he continued his schooling at the French- language Imperial Galata secondary school in Constantinople. In 1890, at the age of fifteen, he was sent to study in France where he spent the next seven years. After initial education at secondary schools in Lisieux (1890) and Carcassonne (1892), he registered at the University of Dijon, from which he graduated in 1895 in Romance philology. After graduation, he moved to Paris for two years where he studied mediaeval French, Latin and Greek at the Collège de France. He finished his studies at Harvard University in the United States, although little is known of this period of his life. As a result of his highly varied educational background, he was able to speak and write Albanian, Italian, French, German, English and Turkish fluently. Konitza's stay in France, a country of long-standing liberal democratic traditions, was to have a profound effect on him and he was able to acquire and adopt the patterns of Western thinking as no Albanian intellectual had ever done before him.

Accepted: 10 May 2018 “ALWAYS BAYRAM, ALWAYS EASTER”: THE CALL FOR ALBANIAN CIVIC UNITY IN GJERGJ FISHTA’S THE HIGHLAND LUTE Abstract Gjergj Fishta’s verse narrative, Lahuta e Malcis (ca. 1907) is often regarded as the national epic of Albanians. The epic produces a fresh vision of the shared cultural identity of Albanians by telling the story of their struggle for independence blended with elements of regional and local culture which had never before entered into high literary language. The paper argues that Fishta creates a national epic not just by the events he narrates in the poem but also by the language and imagery he uses. The poem’s language puts Albanian modes of expression into high literature, depicts Muslim and Christian Albanian practices in a manner that emphasizes their common ground, and utilizes Albanian folklore such as the mythological creatures called zana and ora, which lie outside both the Christian and Muslim religions, but are closely associated with the land. In emphasizing the Albanian land, language, and culture, Fishta’s epic poem crafts a civic Albanian identity that embraces Albanian religious diversity and transcends sectarian identifications.

M. j f- HYRJE Kam bërë një gabim që letërsia dhe kul- tura shqiptare s’duhet të ma falin. Pata miqësi pothuaj dhjetëvjeçare me Mit- rush Kutelin. Ai-mjeshtër i njohur, në moshë të pjekur. Unë — një djalosh i ri që vraponte pas muzave, por që ai, me zemrën e tij të madhe, gjithmonë më ngrinte e më vinte pranë, në vendin e sho- kut. Kam kaluar plot orë të bukura e të vlefshme, në atë dhomën e tij të vogël me një tavolinë në mes përplot me libra dhe me makinën e shkrimit... Tek ajo dhomë gjendej edhe për mua, përherë. një karrige e lirë. Vija shpesh. Me aq sa gjy- koja atëherë edhe rezervohesha në vizitat, se e dija që do t’i merrja nga koha e vlefshme, kohë që do t’ia hante pastaj natës dhe gjumit. Megjithatë, dëshira e zjarrtë e zemrës për të qenë pranë tij, për ta dëgjuar, ma mundte gjithmonë arsyetimin e ftohtë, se kush e ka- përcente prakun e asaj dhome të vogël, kur dilte që atje, dilte me krahë! Ai njeri i lodhur nga jeta, i plakur pa kohë, i ngarkuar pa masë me punë e i sëmurë, ku e 5 gjente tërë atë forcë për t’i frymëzuar të tje- rët me idealin e madh të punës krijuese? Pa le sa madhështore dhe e shndritshme bë- hej ajo dhomë e vogël kur rastiste të vinte aty plaku i urtë, patriarku i pedagogëve të Shqi- përisë, profesor S.

    Alexandre Zotos. Anthologie de la poésie albanaise. Chambéry. La Polygraphe, Edition ’1998. 388 pp. ISBN 2-87661-162-7. 170 FRF. After years of gathering the exotic blossoms of Albanian verse and translating them into a more widely understood idiom, Alexandre Zotos, professor at the University of Saint- Etienne, now presents us with what is one of the most comprehensive and enjoyable anthologies of Albanian poetry to have appeared in any language (including Albanian) up to the present day. Zotos, among ’ leading translators from the Albanian, has published prose versions of Ismail Kadare and Dritëro Agolli, as well as a number of anthologies of Albanian literature, including Anthologie de la prose albanaise, Paris 1984 (see WLT 59:3 p. 472), La poésie albanaise, Les cahiers de poésie-rencontres 26, Lyons 1989, and Voix albanaises dans la nuit, Aires 13, Saint Etienne 1991. The present collection would seem, however, to be the crowning achievement of his many years of dedication to an as yet underestimated European culture. In its nine chapters, the Anthologie de la poésie albanaise offers an extremely wide spectrum of Albanian verse from the beginnings to the present day, including an introductory text to each section and author. The first chapter, Au commencement était le peuple, is devoted exclusively to oral verse (41 poems) from Albania, Kosovo, southern Italy and Greece, including the heroic Songs of the Frontier Warriors (këngë kreshnikesh), historical and legendary verse, poems of conscription and emigration, of love and marriage, popular ballads on birth and funerary chants. Chapter two, Les pères fondateurs, provides a good selection of the early Catholic authors of the 17th and 18th centuries: Pjetër Budi, Pjetër Bogdani, Nikollë Brankati, Nikollë Filja, Nikollë Keta and Jul Variboba.
