Angjelina Marku

Winter of the Century Angjelina Marku

"An enormously powerful story where the Albanian History is perfectly integrated into the world of literature. The Balkan's literature finally has an author in Angjelina Marku whose fiction style is a fulcrum for future generations of writers. With Ela and Melani, Marku raises in the summit of attention the role of Albanian women in the history of this nation and sacrifices made for its territorial defense. Meanwhline Nora and the Braveman reflect the perseverance, gallantry, and loyalty to Albania's leader, reflected as a chieftain in this volume. With the opening of Melani's story all the way to the battlefield we have in Angjelina Marku's book some of the greatest moments in European Fiction, uniquely depicted characters in world literature and the reader will appreciate the permanent clash between the underworld of evil with the sublime world of freedom fighters, defending their people and homeland. European Literature has rarely seen a similar style cultivated in Angjelina Marku's writing; this is a piece of art that will resist the winds of time and constant evolution of style. This is indeed, an intellectual treat: beautiful writing is not incompatible with geographical imagination and historical flair!"- MARTIN BARILLAS, Former U. S.
