New Historical Novel on Tirana to Hit Shelves on November 3 A new novel, Historitë e Çmendura të Tiranës (“The Wounded Histories of Tirana”), will be released by the publishing house Onufri on November 3. The book, written by an author who describes his work as a response to his “resentment” toward his hometown, chronicles the city’s history from 1600 to 2000. The narrative covers a wide range of events, including wars, occupations, construction projects, and political intrigues. It portrays the struggles of various groups—landowners, merchants, adventurers, soldiers, writers, poets, kings, and emperors—who vied for control of Tirana over four centuries. According to the author, the book demonstrates how the city has repeatedly burned and been rebuilt, emerging each time “more beautiful and vital.” The author notes that Tirana has fewer books written about it than any other European capital. He also points out that the novel’s release coincides with a period of crisis in the city, describing the timing as a “fatal coincidence” rather than a planned event. Historitë e Çmendura të Tiranës will be available in all bookstores across the country from the release date. Article source: 24 Orë | Image credit: 24 Orë
