The book that changed my life
Visar Zhiti

My life has really changed because of the books, I would say luckily, because I have been punished by them. In the case, besides my poems, I also have the books I had read.

And I was sentenced to 10 years in prison. I fell into hell. So, I will remember from those hostile books, as they called them, when the book alone cannot be an enemy.

I would single out Dostoevsky, a banned writer, when he only had one book in Albanian, his first, "White Nights".

I had found the novel "Notes from the House of the Dead", I read it secretly, a teacher in the village, but I had written about it in my diary. It is the book that helped me a lot to understand the prison and when you understand, you know how to stay. It was of first-hand importance to me.

I had read the forbidden Father Gjergj Fishta and the Canon of Lek Dukagjin, with prefaces by Fishta and Konica.

I was accused because I had read the book "Jabloko" (Apple) by the revisionist poet Evgeni Yevtushenko, I was even shouted at because I had translated his poems, as well as for a Japanese poet, Isikawa Takuboku, who died at the age of 27 from tuberculosis like our Mighen. I had translated his entire book from Russian with my fellow student, the poet Skender Rusi.

The prosecutor in the trial called Takuboku openly "Taketukja".. Similarly, in the interrogator, I was asked about the French poet Jacques Prever, etc.

While in prison, when it had not yet been published in Albanian, I read all 7 tragedies of Sophocles. I was amazed. Of fate and fatality. I copied them. I took Franz Kafka orally first.

One of my fellow sufferers, the engineer Ismail Farka, knew him very well, he graduated from Saint Petersburg, he told me stories with pathos, parables.

I'm not lingering. Books become life and life becomes books. They want freedom and give freedom.
