At the ceremony, held at the Institute of Albanology of Prishtina, Novosella said he felt fortunate to have been close to Demaci. He noted that this was the first time he was reading one of his books in which Demac
Academician Arsim Bajrami stated that they had gathered to honor an era of Albanian national consciousness. According to him, the three volumes contain history, political analysis, and an act of national remembrance.
“Today we have gathered to honor an era of Albanian national consciousness. At the center of this promotion stands the figure of Adem Demaci, the figure of political resistance. They constitute history, a political analysis, and an act of national remembrance. The third volume reflects the last years of Demaci. These three volumes present a moral biography of a nation. We honor the figure of Adem Demaci and the intellectual figure of Novosella,” Bajrami said.“What fortune for the author to live near the family of Adem Demaci. It was Novosella’s fortune to live with Demaci even in prison. The first period of his writings begins symbolically with an anecdote about Demaçi. The author’s journey is completed with his illegal activities alongside Adem Demaci, with Demaci’s second arrest and the fate of the national movement. Both simultaneously became witnesses of history. Conversations about national activities in all fields, national unification, the Orthography Congress… The volumes are read in one breath, like the history of a novel,” he added.
So far, Selatin Novosella has published 24 books about Adem Demaci.
