Biography
Born into a peasant family in the village of Menkulyas, Devol County, near Korchi . During the Italian occupation of Albania, at the age of nine, he took part in the anti-fascist resistance movement, playing the role of a connected partisan detachment. He graduated from high school in Gjirokaster in 1952. He continued his studies at the Faculty of Arts of Leningrad State University . Upon his return to Albania, he entered the post of journalist in the newspaper Zeri i Pullit , where he worked for 15 years. He was elected to the Parliament of Albania [12] .
Poetry
Success came to Agolli after the publication of poetry. The audience first became acquainted with the poet thanks to the collections “Në rrugë dolla” (“On the way I came”, Tirana , 1958), “Hapat e mija në asfalt” (“My feet on the asphalt”, Tirana, 1961) and “Shtigje malesh dhe trotuare "(" Mountain trails and sidewalks ", Tirana, 1965). Agolly appeared as a gifted poet, masterfully mastering the technique of versification. The basis of his style was his connection with peasant roots, which the poet had never forgotten about.
Prose
As a prose writer, he established himself after the release of the novel Komisari Memo (Commissar Memo, Tirana, 1970). The book was translated into English in 1975. The second novel, “Njeriu me top” (Tirana, 1975), was released in English in 1983. Both books, in a slightly different way, described the struggle of the Albanian partisans during World War II.
After two novels about partisans, Agolli composed several works on other topics. In 1972, the satirical novel Shkëlqimi dhe rënja e shokut Zylo (The Rise and Fall of Comrade Zyulo) was published, dedicated to an incompetent employee of a state organization. Critics have found in the novel similarities with the works of Daniel Defoe and Franz Kafka , Gogol's "The Examiner" and Kundera's " Joke ." But the readers of Eastern Europe primarily perceived it best of all, for whom the created image of the protagonist was understandable and recognizable.
The main prose genre for Agolly was a short story, not a novel. Agolli's prose collection was published in English in 1985 in Tirana. It included 16 stories.
One of the earliest collections, the 213-page Zhurma e ererave të dikurshme (The Sound of the Wind of the Past, Tirana, 1964), was banned from distribution, and the circulation was destroyed. Agolli was criticized for "Soviet revisionism", while the party adhered to the Maoist line in literature and more reflect the role of workers.
1990s
In the 1990s, Dritero Agolli created many works that were distinguished by humanism and sincerity, not characteristic of the Albanian literature of this time. He published several collections of poems. In 1992-2001 he was a member of the Socialist Party of Albania .
Style
Agolli's verses are characterized by crude rhymes and unusual speech patterns. In his fresh, clean and direct syllable, always felt the rural flavor, which was the most powerful aspect of the poet's work. For many years, Agolly remained honest with himself and his readers, despite all the vicissitudes of fate.
Impact on Albanian Literature
Although Agolli was one of the leaders of the communist nomenclature, he remained a respected member of society and the literary milieu after the fall of dictatorship. It was still widely read in Albania [13] . In the early 1990s, he worked for several years in parliament, being a member of the Socialist Party of Albania . At the same time, Agolli founded his own publishing house, the Dritëro Publishing Company, through which he published many new poetry and prose collections that had a significant impact on Albanian literature.
Translations into Russian
The translator of Dritero Agolli's poems into Russian was made by Ilya Fonyakov , who knew the poet from his student years. In 2007, the collection “Where did this music come from?” [14] [15] was released .
