More information about this article... The following comments have been left for this page: I do not think that the category called Dissidence in Ismail Kadare's wikipedia biography is right. It is too shallow and it sounds more like a gossip column than the biography of one of the best writers on the planet. So please do revise it! (edit)

[edit] Translation Issue

Shouldn't "Jeta, loja dhe vdekja e Lul Mazrekut" be translated as "The life, play and death of Lul Mazreku" ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.69.138.67 (talk) 18:25, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Biased

What a biased article!!!Whoever wrote that is in total denial of Kadare's work. One of the worst pages of Wikipedia. An artist's work shouldn't be judged by his political ideas. The Albanian who wrote that should be ashamed! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.78.124.95 (talk • contribs) 14:31, 10 November 2005

No one denied Kadare's greatness as a writer. But when Kadare decides to call himself a dissident hero, some politics has to be discussed. Please, DO NOT delete the dissidence issue again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.158.107.126 (talk • contribs) 17:52, 13 November 2005

According to this, Kadare does not claim to have been a dissident. He also calls "The great winter" "the price he had to pay for his freedom". That should be included. --BluePlatypus 18:25, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comments made by Kadare in 1991

"Albania’s future is towards Christianity, since it is connected with it culturally, old memories, and its pre-Turkish nostalgia. With the passing of time, the late Islamic religion that came with the Ottomans should evaporate (at first in Albania and then in Kosova), until it will be replaced by Christianity or, to be more exact, Christian culture. Thus from one evil (the prohibition of religion in 1967) goodness will come. The Albanian nation will make a great historical correction that will accelerate its unity with its mother continent: Europe" [1] Axxn (talk) 04:17, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
