About this ebook
Attilio Bertolucci, 1999
"I never read a book so beautiful, but baffling; so imbued with lyricism, but bitter as poison; so truthful that you immediately want to read Holy Scripture again; so present that you regret the past; so pungent that you feel you should wear gloves when flipping the pages."
Stelvio Mestrovich Wotnynski, 2010
Shpend Sollaku Noé
Shpendi Sollaku Noe lartësohet si Dante Aligieri i shekullit të 21-të: në vargje nuk gjen lugje dhe rrethe të ferrit, por vizioni është po ashtu ngjethës. Ndihemi më se të mallkuar, buratinë të vertetë që qarkullojnë në botën-ferr ku, në vend të flakëve, janë informatika, kreditë për t'u paguar, financiaret, bankat- shushunja, cmira, xhelozia, fiksacioni për të rënë në sy, besimet fetare të rreme, injoranca, historia e falsifikuar, burokracitë e çnderuara e pagdhendja. Autori është Shpend Sollaku Noé, profesor, gazetar, por, veçanërisht, Poet madhështor. Ka lindur në Lushnje, më tre prill 1957, tokë pjellore poetësh, e dashuruar pas poezisë. Jeton në Itali që prej vitit 1992 si azilant politik. Që prej kohësh lufton për mbrojten e të drejtave të njeriut dhe, duke qenë se ka provuar vetë mbi shpinë tmerret e diktaturës, mbron në mënyrë më specifike të drejtat e emigrantëve dhe të azilantëve politikë.

S. S. Noé and Evolution of a Metaphor
Notes about the life and activity of Shpend Sollaku Noé
by Attilio Bertolucci
S. S. Noé is known as a poet, writer, politician, professor, literary critic, and investigative journalist in the field of state nomenclature corruption and symbioses with organized crime.
Noé is one of the first organizers and leaders of the opposition who, risking his life, made possible the collapse of communism in the East; is one of the pioneer publishers of neodemocratic East European press; is the first who denounced the Mafia’s penetration in the East and infiltration of organized crime in the state nomenclatures; is the first who denounced the war in the Balkans (especially in Bosnia and Kosovo) and predicted the length of its development; is the first who, when the West applauded the victory of democracy in Eastern Europe, warned of the swift return in power of cryptocommunists.
Noé was born in Albania on April 3, 1957, in a family of clerks. He had a difficult childhood because when he was three years old, his father, a monarchist, was sentenced to imprisonment as a so-called saboteur of the Hoxha regime. Noé, his mother, and his five siblings experienced, besides the economic hardship, the psychological violence and terror of class war. Noé, who was the youngest child, lived painfully through the confiscation of the house, expulsion from school of his brother, and imitation of cross-handed handcuffs on the streets by the children of censors. His mother, a teacher, was transferred far away from home, and his oldest brother, although still a teenager, played the father’s role. He obliged his sibling in reading books and listening to classical music all day, miraculously saving them from the ugly consequences of marginalization.
During childhood, Noé read adult-level books and started to write intensively and even to publish. He wrote stories, drama, and poetry. At fourteen years old, Noé won a music contest in capital of Tirana, but he couldn’t continue the Artistic Lyceum. Back in his hometown, he was enrolled in high school and was an outstanding student. He continued to pursue reading, writing, and, occasionally, publishing.
At the same time, Noé became engaged as an actor, singer, librettist, and show friend
and started to attend antiregime events. During his high-school years, two national seminars for young talent were organized, and Noé was the dominant author and presenter. He ended his time at the school with excellent achievement, but he jeopardized his high-school degree by wearing a pair of supposedly anticommunist pants and by singing in a park some famous foreign songs with a group of friends. The excellent grades weren’t enough to earn him the right to continue university, and he desperately sought his right to study for three straight years.
At eighteen years old, he prepared his first book, The Sphinx, after publishing in newspapers and magazines. Ismail Kadare, a great Albanian writer and a political exile in France since 1989, wrote to the chief of the Naim Frashëri publishing house, The author of these verses is a boy with original talent. I ask, if it is possible, to make the book review.
Kadare’s request was rejected. Everything that was good to Kadare was ugly and dangerous to publishers of the regime. Publication of Noé’s book was denied, and he was pressured to return to the traditional cliché of socialist realism.
In 1978, thanks to the energetic intervention of the League of Writers and Artists and, personally, its president, the great poet Dritëro Agolli, to Hoxha himself, Noé won the right, outside the criteria,
to study in Albanian language and literature. But as soon as he was registered at university, they posted him on the island of Sazan to perform military service for three years as a sailor. There he was forced to perform twelve-hour service each twenty-four hours, and later on to do hard labor digging tunnels!
In this period, Noé secretly attended lectures, risking his arrest because soldiers were prohibited by law to frequent schools. He finished all the exams in a few months (completing the first year in five days: it was normal for him to take two exams or even three exams a day and still earn the best grades).
In 1980 his father died, but army officers did not tell him. Alerted by a postman soldier, he left the island of Sazan at midnight on a freighter and reached home a few hours before the funeral. The return to the island was infernal: special surveillance, tunnel work, and no more permits to see his family. It was his elderly mother who, though sick, traveled to give him prohibited literature.
After the army, in 1982, Noé began work as a teacher in the town of Lushnje, but since he was an undesirable element, he was moved to one of the poorest villages of Albania, in a high school where children of political prisoners were also studying. He could no longer dream of becoming a singer (his voice was checked by party militants and was deemed too Western) or an actor. In the village where Noé taught, he managed to create a new talent group with his students, whose work was published even in national periodicals, transforming the municipality into a provisional center of the school literary movement. He began, though in peril, to make active the children of political deportees (an act strictly banned by the regime). At the same time, he was trying to publish criticism, translations from Russian and Italian,
