Lek Pervizi

In the Circles of Hell Lek Pervizi

Lek Pervizi, already known as a painter, poet and writer, with this new work completes the trilogy of three books, which include the entire period of condemnations and sufferings under the communist dictatorship in Albania. By now we know that that dictatorship, although in a small country, like Albania, was the most ferocious and criminal of the other Communist countries, Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Such fields and prisons in miserable conditions do not exist in these countries. Finally, the work of Lek Pervizi also appears as a precious document to be taken into consideration by scholars and historians, in order to know in depth how bad and horrendous communism was. Certainly including all the terrible totalitarian dictatorships of the twentieth century. The reader of the free and civilized world, no doubt, will be shocked and surprised that such misdeeds occurred in a small country like Albania in peacetime. To underline the simple style, characteristic of the writer, to make reading easy and pleasant. We can hope that his work is valued and to be rewarded by high cultural institutions. Knowing evil and its disastrous consequences, means knowing how to rightly evaluate and build in the future well-being.
