TWO LITERARY PORTRETS FOR PATER GJERGJ FISHTA

According to the researcher Jup Kastrati, the literary portrait in Albanian literature stood out with Faik Konica, who has left us excellent models. Initiator of many things in Albanian literature, Konica wrote in 1930s "Some memories about Át Gjeçov", an impressive portrait for the Franciscan friar, which he aesthetically synthesized with the words "a humble height". Another Franciscan friar, this time much better known, a living legend and a milestone for the Albanian literature, also crowned as the national poet - Pater Gjergj Fishta, will become the subject of literary portraits. The realizations will come from Branko Merxhani and Vangjel Koça. We are interested on a detailed analysis of these writings made from two well-known Albanian publicists and literary critics of the 1930s, because, firstly, it results that they are little evident for the reader and, secondly, they come from two authors that are part of the cultural elite, who were lucky enough to meet the Poet, bringing us through literary memories impressions and details that enrich the great portrait of Gjergj Fishta.
