<strong>Anthology</strong> <strong>of</strong> Woundsand were isolated from the world, we became poorerand poorer, economically.To add all the years in prison <strong>of</strong> the all those jailedand interned, it comes to the result that Albania wascondemned with centuries <strong>of</strong> imprisonment.The <strong>wounds</strong> anthology is the common book <strong>of</strong> manyauthors that have had chains on their hands and werechosen to go into the mines <strong>of</strong> hell and they are the samepeople that would be killed or that would die in theendless sufferings. Through this book, their spirits gotup to bring their testimony <strong>of</strong> hell.Parts <strong>of</strong> this book have been written in prison withinvented alphabets, on cement sacks, cigarette lettersand on the sides <strong>of</strong> newspapers. They were hidden underthe straws <strong>of</strong> the mattress, in shoes, under stonesand ultimately they were memorized, helping spirituallythe authors. What’s even stranger, they got theirreaders in prison, which if revealed would cause theauthor and the reader to be sentenced to more years inprison. Other parts <strong>of</strong> the book were written during timespent in interment or after being freed from prison.However, the authors had no right to be published, thesame way these people had no right to vote or to workin their pr<strong>of</strong>ession.As a result, this anthology was seen reasonable toinclude even some writings from those forced to go intopolitical emigration, from those authors that had beenprohibited to return to their country. They were alsopersecuted even where they were, in the form <strong>of</strong> assassinationattempts toward them and their works wereconsidered dangerous and the regime punished everypossible reader <strong>of</strong> them here.14
