DRERI I TROTUAREVE (The deer) – Author: Diana Çuli

Deer on the sidewalks is the most famous novel by Diana Çuli, which has been republished for over twenty years. The tragic story of Fredi and Vera, the story of the ’70s generation, comes just as vivid and vital, but now under the optics of reflection on a bygone era. It is the story of a once-new generation that went through many historical tunnels: from the regime’s fiercest pressure, from key moments of political change to the long period of transition that this generation carried on its shoulders. In this novel we find particles of life in the 70s such as prejudices, the pursuit of Security, suffering, but also the rays of spiritual beauty that kept them from being deformed by ideological pressure. The love, the sweetness of life, the pain, the mistake, the repentance, the friendship, the search for identity, the loss, the return, the hope, the death, everything that torments us and makes us think long, we find in this book.
