In celebration of Alphabet Days, the General Directorate of Archives (DPA) and the Institute of Spiritual and Cultural Heritage of Albanians in Skopje (ITSHKSH) presented an exhibition showcasing Ismail Kadare’s manuscripts. Held in the “Orthography Congress” hall, the event highlighted Kadare’s contributions to Albanian literature and identity.

The exhibition features:

• Manuscripts of “The General of the Dead Army” and “The Palace of Dreams”;
• Unpublished works like “The Three Friends,” written at age 11;
• Influences from Shakespeare in “Hamlet, the Difficult Prince”;
• Allegorical novels such as “The Pyramid” and “The Blind Order”;
• Awards, including “Commander of the Legion of Honor” and the “Prince of Asturias Award.”

This initiative underscores Kadare’s enduring impact on national and European cultural identity.
