Marta came while we were locked up and isolated during the pandemic. She filtered through these pages while I, cut off from the world, was learning to fragment everything, discovering my personal doctrine: to be essential.

Marta comes with her journey, from the eye of a needle in a small town, to conquering the stage in the big world. Radiant Marta, with Marta and her son, with love, passion, ambition, career, the perfect life. And, who suddenly encounters the demon.

Thus, Marta begins her challenging journey, discovers that there are things beyond life and death, discovers her weapon, the scissors, learns to cut, learns to simplify. Marta becomes essential.
What thread can connect Kosovo, Syria, Shkodra, Durrës, Lesbos?

Can evil be inherited? How can evil be defeated? How much can a person be simplified while still remaining human?

With a modern, direct style, far from clichés and taboos, the author constructs a mirror for the reader, with the power of the mirror of a fairy tale: to show the truths that we have forgotten or that we are afraid to think about, seek out, or live. And like any truth, this one shocks and liberates.

At some point in life, we are each at a meeting point with Martha

Tregime te zgjedhura

Tregime te zgjedhura

Translated title: Selected Stories

Author: Tagore, Rabindranath

Genre: Short Stories / Classics

Year: 2025 | Pages: 157 | Origin: ALB | BA Seq Num: 91699

Translated
Poet, novelist, storyteller, painter and musician, Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) is a great master of Indian culture. Written during the 1890s, the stories in this selection brilliantly recreate vivid images of Bengali life and landscapes.

This collection contains some of the best stories by Tagore, who put India on the literary map of the world. His stories depict the human condition in its many forms: innocence and childhood, love and loss, city and countryside, the natural and the supernatural. The book also provides a glimpse into the socio-economic conditions prevalent in colonial Bengal.

However, Tagore is first and foremost India's supreme romantic poet, and in these stories he can be seen reaching beyond simple documentary realism to his deeply original vision
I cmendur

I cmendur

Translated title: Crazy

Author: Hurme, Juha

Genre: Social Novel

Year: 2025 | Pages: 224 | Origin: ALB | BA Seq Num: 91686

The book 'Crazy' by Juha Hurme describes the author's personal mental state during his time in psychosis and how he copes with the world around him, conveying to us a reality of everyday life and the challenges faced by a mentally ill person.

However, the author does not approach his narrative chronologically by describing a starting point and an ending to his personal story, a classic narrative style. He takes us through the narrative into a world that the reader could hardly have ever thought of entering, just as we never delve deeply into how a person in psychosis sees the world around them.

There we encounter the imagination which in psychosis turns into reality and his memory which is also filled with reality. The first reaction is distrust towards everything and everyone. The author narrates how everything seems to him like a theater, which follows him throughout the story. It is difficult for the reader to distinguish where reality begins and where imagination begins, which makes the story attractive. The reader also follows with curiosity, constantly asking himself, where is the plot of the story?

The book that concludes the 'Red Sparrow' trilogy continues the dangerous challenges of Russian counterintelligence chief Dominika Egorova and her lover, CIA agent Nathaniel Nash.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is planning the secret assassination of a high-ranking American official, replacing him with an agent the Russian Secret Service has been training for over fifteen years.

When they sniff out the plot, Dominika, Nat, and their CIA colleagues must unmask the traitor before he or she discovers that Dominika has been a CIA agent for years. Any leak and any mistake will expose her as an asset, which will lead to her being sent to the execution cellar in Moscow.

In the end, the threads of danger come together at the fabulous multi-billion dollar presidential palace on the Black Sea, during a weekend with Putin's inner circle.

Will Nat sacrifice herself to save Dominika? Will Dominika surrender to protect her lover? Or will they both suffer?

With a plot worthy of the headlines of all newspapers, the book 'The Kremlin Candidate' is as contemporary as it is timeless: a spy story that takes the reader beyond the headlines of Russia's attack on America
