Adem Dema për Adem Demaçin
No full textFilan's Quantum Love is a biographical novel about the life of one of the most important personalities of the Albanian world of the 20th century.
Since the author is a participant in the events then the witnessing role of the novel is of particular importance. There is no other novel in Albanian literature that gives a better description of the situation in Kosovo after the Second World War.
The narrator recounts the events by skipping some of them. He fo- cuses on the events, which he selects for the impact they have had on his memory as well as their weight in people's lives.
The structure of the novel allows the author to say a lot in a few words. The novel is divided into two parts: the electronic letters sent to Dardha and the stories that tell about Filan's life. The first part deals with Filan's present, and the stories with his past.
There are many names in the novel, many characters that Filan's life has encountered, but there is only one character that is completely cons- tructed. Despite this some characters, though episodic, remain long in the reader's memory.
The events and situations that are narrated in the novel have a general character as well. They affect not only Filan's life, but also the lives of all the people.
Dialogue is an important component of the text. In many stories we have Filan's confrontation with a character. Such situations are characteri- zed by dialogues, which are in function of defining of the characters, but also in function of testimony for a while. The most frequent dialogues are in the form of questions-answers.
The variety of narrative perspectives sets Filan's Quantum Love apart. Different situations, meeting people of different profiles make the story, but also the dialogue to have the tone, color and discourse that ref- lects the situations, events and the general atmosphere.
In Filan's Quantum Love we also know the inner world of the man who has not hidden his actions and thoughts. Rare are personalities like Adem Demaçi who, throughout their lives, have had in full compliance the word and the action. As a novel about an extraordinary man and about an unusual time; as a novel of artistic and evidential value Filan's Quantum Love should be included in school curricula so that pupils and students, through art, recog- nize an important period in the life of the Albanian people and, why not, recognize one of the most special and important figures of the nation.
Despite the fact that the literary work is analyzed separately from the name of its author, the name of Adem Demaçi will always be in the mind of the reader whenever Adem Dema is read.Punimi trajton njërën prej veprave më të mira të Adem Demaçit: romanin autobiografik Dashuria kuantike e Filanit, në të cilën, duke rrëfyer me “kapërcime”, autori mbulon një kohë rreth gjysmëshekullore. Ngjarjet, situatat, mjedisi, personazhet janë të vërteta, natyrisht të plotësuara me tisin e fiksionit.
Autori është dëshmitar dhe pjesëmarrës i ngjarjeve, prandaj vlera doku- mentare e librit është e një rëndësie të veçantë. Adem Demaçi dëshmon përmes rrëfimit, por edhe përmes dialogëve e përsiatjeve.
Në këtë punim trajtohen tematika, dialogu, personazhet, vlera dëshmuese dhe përgjithësuese e romanit.

Imam Ali (Ali Ibn Abi Ṭalib), The Peak Personality Who Shaped Arabic Poetry with His Wise Words
No full textImam Ali, the sultan of wise words, who had a good command of the Qur'an, hadiths, and poems of the period of ignorance (Jahiliyyah), used literary sentences even in his everyday conversations. He proved to be the pinnacle of literature by skillfully bringing together words in his poems with deep meanings. His poems were examined in Arab and Turkish sources to reveal the literary power of Imam Ali and the beauty of the used language. Studies on the literary aspect of Imam Ali in the Arabic field are more than the studies in the Turkish field. In the literature, much research was conducted about Imam Ali, but very few of these studies examined his literary language side. As he was the basis of Islamic sciences and the master of scholars who grew up in these fields, he occupied a great place in the literature of Muslim countries. We tried to make up for the lack of analysis of Imam Ali's literary language in this context. Imam Ali was a great person who needed to be examined in every aspect of literature. We tried to reveal his literary side, which was a guide for those who came after him
