Podcasts about Enver Hoxha

Albanian Lea Ypi has a talent for combining the personal and the political in history, exploring how we are all shaped by the societies and ideologies surrounding us. In her memoir Free. A Child and a Country at the End of History, she skillfully portrays her own childhood during the socialist regime of Enver Hoxha in the latter half of the 20th century, followed by the state's collapse and civil war.Ordinary humans in the midst of history is also the focus in her new book, Indignity: A Life Reimagined. An unknown photopgrah of her grandmother honeymooning in Mussolini's Italy pops up on social media, making Ypi question everything she thought she knew about her family. Was her grandmother a Nazi collaborator? Or perhaps a Communist spy?This is the beginning of a thorough examination of her grandmothers life, one that takes Ypi back to the Ottoman empire, to Greece and then Albania through alternating regimes and occupants.Lea Ypi is a professor of political theory and philosophy at the London School of Economics. Her book Free was warmly received by both critics and readers, and is so far translated into 30 languages.Writer and journalist Simen Ekern has published several books about European and Italian politics and history. He joins Ypi for a conversation about ordinary humans in the midst of history. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hong Kong authorities today sentenced pro-democracy publisher Jimmy Lai to 20 years behind bars. And the Milan Cortina Olympics are the first to feature a ban on ski wax containing PFAS, the forever chemicals linked to a range of health problems and diseases. Also, Japan's Sanae Takaichi took a huge risk calling for a snap election just 110 days into her first term as prime minister. Today, she won big. Plus, in a large archive building in Tirana, Albania's capital, a team recently began reviewing 45 years of films produced at the behest of former dictator Enver Hoxha.  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Lea Ypi, a professor of political theory at the London School of Economics, grew up in Albania under communism, when it was the last Stalinist outpost in Europe.She was 10 years old when the Berlin Wall fell, and a year later she saw the collapse of communism in Albania. Statues of Stalin and Enver Hoxha, the country's leader for 40 years, were toppled. Democratic elections followed - but so did civil unrest.Lea wrote about these turbulent years in her book Free, which won prizes and widespread acclaim: 'essential - just as much for Britons as Albanians' according to one critic.She has delved further into her family history, looking into the past of her grandmother, in her book Indignity.Lea's musical choices include Beethoven, Wagner, Dizdari and Bach.

Send me a Text Message!MARCH 2025Hey everyone—checking in from Albania! This month's been a bit of a whirlwind. I finally moved into my new place in Porto (which felt amazing), but then had to leave Portugal until my visa is approved. Cue the Great Travel Shuffle: Porto > Madrid > Tirana > Frankfurt > US > Frankfurt > Porto. So. Many. Flights.But you know what? Tirana—and especially the Blloku neighborhood—continues to surprise me. It's my third time here and there's always more history to discover. From strong espressos and people-watching to powerful pieces of history tucked around every corner, it's been a unique little chapter.In this episode, I'm talking about the highs, the hectic moments, the history, and what it's like living out of a suitcase while craving a little stillness. If you've ever felt that mix of wanderlust and wanting to just hang your clothes up for once—you'll get it.Website  I  Instagram  I  Twitter  I  LinkedIn  I  YouTubeEmail: actorbobtapper@gmail.comIn this episode:Moving into my Porto Apartment (for a quick minute)Pack, Unpack, Repack and back to TiranaEnver Hoxha's Home: 40 years of communist rulePostbllok MemorialLooking forward to my return to PortoAirBnbBook your stay!Former Residence of Enver HoxhaRight in the heart of Tirana is a quiet villa that once belonged to Enver Hoxha, Albania's longtime communist leader. For decades, the entire area around it—now known as Blloku—was completely off-limits, guarded by police and secret agents. It was basically a wall-less fortress for the regime's elite, hidden in plain sight. Today, it's one of the city's liveliest neighborhoods, but that history still lingers.Postbllok MemorialOne of the most powerful spots in Tirana is the Postbllok Memorial—a small but impactful installation created by former political prisoner Fatos Lubonja and artist Ardian Isufi. It features concrete beams from Spaç Prison, part of a military bunker, and a piece of the Berlin Wall gifted by the city of Berlin. Each element tells a story of Albania's past under dictatorship and its long road to freedom. Support the show

Listen to this engaging podcast with historian Robert Austin, the author of Royal Fraud: The Story of Albania's First and Last King (Central European UP, 2024). In the book, Austin explains the rise and fall of Albania's first and only monarch, King Zog!. The road to becoming Europe's youngest president in 1925 and king of Albania in 1928 was paved with feuds and assassinations. Zog retained his power until his "friend" Mussolini ousted him in 1939. He left Albania with almost no roads or trains, thoroughly uneducated and utterly impoverished. Zog may have regretted sending a young Enver Hoxha to France on a state scholarship. But one thing Hoxha did learn from Zog: it makes sense to have your rivals murdered. In this podcast, Austin talks about Zog, Albania's communist project, Italy's interest in the Balkans, Albania's limited reckoning with its communist human rights violations and its failure to identify a "usable past."

Springende Masai-krijgers die happen naar ontbijtkoek, de jonge Evert van Benthem die op het ijs een boterham met pindakaas eet, en wasmiddel dat witter dan wit wast. ‘Reclame kan ons ontroeren of ergeren, maar houdt ons altijd een spiegel voor,' aldus Wilbert Schreurs. De historicus vertelt wat ‘de commerciële boodschappen' doen en deden met ons gestel. De negentiende-eeuwse filosoof Hegel vroeg zich ernstig af of Afrika wel deelhad aan de geschiedenis. Dat had het wel degelijk. Onze geschiedenis begon er zelfs, zo betoogt journalist en publicist Zeinab Badawi in Afrika, een Afrikaanse geschiedenis. ‘Dankzij dit boek kunnen heel wat misvattingen over Afrika in de prullenmand,' aldus recensent Anne-Lot Hoek. Onenigheid aan de top. Zo heet het laatste boek van de op 1 juli overleden Albanese schrijver Ismail Kadare. Het gaat over een even curieus als onheilspellend telefoontje van Jozef Stalin aan de schrijver Boris Pasternak, waarin ze zouden hebben gesproken over de arrestatie van dichter Osip Mandelstam. Kadare kreeg dertig jaar later een gelijksoortig telefoontje van Enver Hoxha, de Stalinistische dictator van Albanië. ‘Jullie moesten eens weten hoe dat voelt, zo'n gesprek. Oordeel niet te snel,' schrijft Kadare daarover.

Han var Albaniens mest kända författare och ofta Nobelpristippad. Ann Lingebrandt återvänder till Ismail Kadarés författarskap, som utgjorde en litterär balansgång med livet som insats. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Jag hade precis tagit mig ur sängen efter en kraftig matförgiftning när det var dags för besöket vid resans tänkta höjdpunkt. Jag befann mig i Gjirokastër, den albanska bergsstaden som klädd från topp till tå i sten klamrar sig fast på branta sluttningar. Kullerstensgränderna är trånga och slingrande, med höjdskillnader som känns svindlande åtminstone för en blek konvalescent med darriga ben. Det handlade om några hundra meters promenad, men jag var tvungen att vila vid vart och vartannat steg innan vi var framme. Där var det, stenhuset som hade fört mig till Albanien: författaren Ismail Kadarés barndomshem.I Kadarés uppväxtroman ”Krönika i sten” görs den uråldriga staden själv till huvudperson. Medan ockupanterna avlöser varandra i krigets 40-tal pågår trots allt en vardag i staden och genom barnets vidöppna blick får allting liv, från den missnöjda vattenbrunnen till flygplanen som uppsvällda av bomber cirklar över husen. ”Att se! Vilken oförklarlig förmåga!” utropar den unge berättaren förundrat. Och författaren gör allt för att också läsaren ska se. Även liken som staplas på gatstenarna.Det var trollkraften i Kadarés berättande som drog mig till Gjirokastër och till det hem som tecknats så kärleksfullt och smått skräckinjagande i ”Krönika i sten”. Nu fanns det väl inte så mycket litterär magi kvar i de nymålade vita väggarna i huset som precis renoverats och gjorts om till museum. Även om brunnen ännu fanns där hittade i alla fall den här svimfärdiga besökaren betydligt mer stoff för fantasin i staden runtomkring, med de höga fortliknande ottomanska palatsen, de skymningsfärgade bergen och korparna som kretsade ovanför det medeltida slottet.Inte särskilt många stapplande steg från Kadarés barndomshem ligger huset där Enver Hoxha Albaniens envåldshärskare under fyra decennier, föddes. Också det ett museum, som paradoxalt nog har bevarat betydligt mer av den rustika historiens suggestionskraft.Kadaré var fortfarande ett barn när Hoxha kopplade sitt järngrepp om landet. Förtryckets villkor kom att kasta sin skugga över hans författarskap. Själv lämnade Kadaré Albanien och flyttade till Paris, mitt under kommunismens upplösning 1990.En av de frågor man inte kan låta bli att ställa sig när man läser Ismail Kadaré är hur en författare kan verka i en diktatur. Inte minst en diktatur som Albanien, länge Europas mest isolerade land, som brutalt kvävde all opposition. Var det den internationella berömmelsen som skyddade Kadaré? Någon slags lojalitet från Hoxhas sida med en son av samma barndomsstad? Eller räddades han av de eftergifter han såg sig tvungen att göra i överlevnadens namn?Kadaré företog en litterär balansgång med livet som insats. Han blev en dubbeltydighetens mästare, en allegorins virtuos som tog historien till hjälp för att spegla sin egen tids, och alla tiders, maktspel. Och något så paradoxalt som en författare som både kunde porträttera despotin med skoningslös klarsyn och vara regimens gunstling. Hela hans författarskap kan beskrivas som en kamp mellan totalitarismens tvångsföreställningar och fantasins frihet.De konstnärliga kompromisserna är uppenbara i storsatsningen ”Den hårda vintern”, som handlar om Albaniens dramatiska brytning med Sovjetunionen 1961. Det är en berättelse som vill skapa en god spegelbild för diktatorn och den skäms av ett glorifierat porträtt av Enver Hoxha. Samtidigt kan författaren under skyddet av smickret göra en mångfasetterad rundmålning av den albanska vardagen, där familjemedlemmar klipper bort de som uteslutits ur partiet ur sina fotoalbum, där litteraturkritiker försöker göra karriär på att hitta ideologiska fel och invånare hyschar varandra när någon börjar prata politik.Man kan häpna över frispråkigheten i flera av de böcker som Kadaré skrev under den kommunistiska tiden. Men det hjälpte inte alltid att skruda motståndet i historisk och allegorisk dräkt. Författaren beskylldes för existentialistisk ångest, feminism och surrealism, såväl som för att vara kontrarevolutionär: några verk måste revideras, andra bannlystes, han belades med skrivförbud och beordrades till offentlig självkritik.Dystopin ”Drömmarnas palats” förbjöds omedelbart när den kom ut 1981. Här försöker en paranoid stat kontrollera medborgarnas undermedvetna och samlar in folkets alla drömmar för att upptäcka komplotter mot sultanen. Det är en fantastisk labyrintisk fabel om hur var och en kan sugas upp av maktmaskineriet och författaren bli en kugge i diktaturens mytproduktion. Och bilden av ett övervakningssamhälle som kartlägger oss ända in i våra drömmar känns fortfarande högaktuell.Med absurdistisk svärta väver Kadaré samman saga och bittert svidande realism. Några saker går ständigt igen: intresset för tyranniets väsen, krigets vansinne och den albanska historien och identiteten. Allt finns redan i hans första roman och stora internationella genombrott ”Den döda arméns general”, som publicerades 1963 och senare blev en film med Marcello Mastroianni. Här återvänder en italiensk general till Albanien tjugo år efter andra världskriget, för att återföra kvarlevorna efter de stupade italienska soldaterna till hemlandet. Av den stolta historien finns inte kvar mer än utspridda leriga gravar, ur vilka han gräver upp skelett efter skelett.Så gott som alltid i Kadarés verk konfronteras det moderna med myten och traditionen. Det upplysta förnuftet krockar med folkets arkaiska föreställningsvärld. Som i ”Grymma april”, där ett nygift par från storstan Tirana åker på exotisk bröllopsresa till blodshämndens högländer.Kadaré ställer sig på folktrons och legendernas sida. Men också i hans snudd på mystiska nationalism finns en dubbelhet: den främmandes skräckfascinerade blick utifrån. Därför rymmer Kadarés romaner alltid lager på lager av tolkningsmöjligheter.I en av hans mest öppna skildringar av maktfullkomlighet, ”Nischen i muren”, beskrivs hur det osmanska imperiet undertrycker varje ansats till uppror i provinserna genom att utplåna det kollektiva minnet och inte minst det lokala språket. När språket steg för steg utarmas blir det till slut oanvändbart och ofarligt: det förlorar förmågan att ”föda fram poesi, berättelser, legender.”I Kadarés berättelser lever språket och dikten vidare och hans författarskap blir ett försvar för att upprätthålla det mänskliga i trots mot omänskliga system.Kadaré är en författare som inte bara får oss att se, utan också får oss att tro på fiktionens oförklarliga kraft. En kraft som kan få benen att darra, inte bara hos en enskild läsare utan även hos en diktatur.Ann Lingebrandt är litteraturkritiker och producent för Dagens diktLitteratur:Ismail Kadaré, Krönika i sten.

Today, we have Distinguished Albanian translator John Hodgson with us. He is talking about his international Booker-longlisted rendition of 'A Dictator Calls' written by Albanian Writer Ismail Kadare. The author and translator were previously longlisted for the novel The Traitors Niche for the Man Booker International prize in 2017.So far, John Hodgson has translated seven novels by Ismail Kadare. John Hodgson's origins are in Tyneside. He studied English at the Universities of Cambridge and Newcastle. In 1980, the British Council sent him to teach English at the University of Kosovo in Prishtina, where he learned Albanian, mainly from his students. After the fall of communism in Albania in 1991, he went to Tirana and lived there for five years. Following the Balkan wars, he worked as a translator and interpreter for the United Nations Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia at The Hague, interpreting at the trial of Slobodan Milosevic. He translated three books by Fatos Lubonja, most recently Like a Prisoner, a collection of short stories describing life in Enver Hoxha's labour camps. He has written in Albanian a memoir of Kosovo in the 1980s, Eardhmja në të kaluarën (The Future in the Past), published in Prishtina in 2022.To buy the book - https://harshaneeyam.captivate.fm/kadare* For your Valuable feedback on this Episode - Please click the link given below.https://harshaneeyam.captivate.fm/feedbackHarshaneeyam on Spotify App –https://harshaneeyam.captivate.fm/onspotHarshaneeyam on Apple App – https://harshaneeyam.captivate.fm/onapple*Contact us - harshaneeyam@gmail.com ***Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed by Interviewees in interviews conducted by Harshaneeyam Podcast are those of the Interviewees and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Harshaneeyam Podcast.

From 1944 to 1985, Enver Hoxha ran Albania as an extraordinarily repressive Stalinist dictatorship. But how did a middle class teacher from the provinces become the most powerful man in the country and a key player in the communist world? What did he do to turn Albania into one of the most isolated countries in the world? And how did ‘Uncle Enver' keep his citizens in the dark for so much of the 20th century?

Repasamos a los mayores dictadores de la historia. El 90% comunistas. Hoy Javier Cárdenas recuerda cuales fueros los dictadores de la historia, que han estado más tiempo en el poder y hay una aplastante línea comunista entre todos ellos, les siguen muy de lejos los nacionalistas y otros. Pasando por alto a Muda Hassanal Bolkiah, sultán de Brunéi desde hace más de 50 años con un régimen absolutista, la misma familia ha estado gobernando la región durante cerca de seis siglos. Pero pasamos a Fidel Castro que dominó Cuba con su comunismo ni más ni menos que durante 49 años y 8 días,Durante su mandato, Cuba se convirtió en un Estado socialista de ideología marxista-leninista, bajo el mando del Partido Comunista de Cuba, único en la isla a partir de su llegada al poder, y se llevaron a cabo nacionalizaciones y expropiaciones de medios productivos con el objetivo de llevar a cabo una política económica socialista.

The Palace of Dreams is a novel from 1981 that is ostensibly set in the 19th century Ottoman empire, but the Albanian writer Ismail Kadare cleverly smuggles in thinly veiled criticism of the totalitarian state presided over by Enver Hoxha. The book was duly banned shortly after publication. Matthew Sweet looks at this and other examples of fiction that satirise bureaucratic overreach from Dickens to Kafka to Georgi Gospodinov, the Bulgarian novelist who won the 2023 International Booker prize for his novel Time Shelter.

KOPPOD's Jake Razor conducts an interview with none other than GARRY BUSHELL. If you listened to Part One, you learned a bit about Garry; he managed the COCKNEY REJECTS, he curated the iconic 'Strength Thru Oi!' compilation (and the other great compilations in that series), he sang for the GONADS, and as a SOUNDS journalist he penned a mountain of words championing punk rock's misunderstood underdogs and UK subculture's quixotic tribespeople. This work and more continues to this day as Garry remains an active writer. For his part, Jake picks the man's brain about the austerity of 70s Britain, UK youth subculture tribes, reggae, punks vs. skinheads, and... British Trotskyite sects, briefly. Maybe we can get his take on Enver Hoxha next time. For now, check out this episode to hear a true powerhouse share insight on the aforementioned topics and much more.

VIDEO: cartone animato su Madre Teresa ➜ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXUI5yBvSdoTESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=4361MADRE TERESA SARA' PROCLAMATA SANTA IL 4 SETTEMBRE di Rodolfo CasadeiOggi il Meeting di Rimini chiude i battenti con un attesissimo incontro su Madre Teresa di Calcutta, che verrà proclamata santa il 4 settembre prossimo, e fra i relatori non poteva mancare Brian Kolodiejchuk, il postulatore della causa di beatificazione e di quella di canonizzazione della suora albanese. Kolodiejchuk, canadese di origine ucraina e sacerdote dei padri missionari della Carità, ha frequentato madre Teresa per vent'anni, dal 1977 fino alla morte nel 1997, e oggi è il direttore del Mother Teresa Center. Oltre alla mostra rimasta esposta per tutta la settimana al Meeting, ha curato molti libri di scritti della fondatrice delle Missionarie della Carità, fra i quali Sii la mia luce, il libro che rivela la "notte dell'anima" che Teresa visse fino alla fine dei suoi giorni e che più oggi risulta utile per capire la natura della santità che la Chiesa ha riconosciuto e intende sottolineare celebrando la canonizzazione nel corso del Giubileo della misericordia.Padre Brian, lei ha detto e scritto che madre Teresa sarà la patrona di chi ha maggiormente bisogno della misericordia di Dio. Cosa intende dire?In una lettera pubblicata nel libro Sii la mia luce madre Teresa scrive: «Se mai diventerò una santa, sarò una santa dell'"oscurità". Sarò sempre assente dal Paradiso per accendere la luce di coloro che sono nell'oscurità sulla Terra». Questa è la missione di misericordia che si prefigge di svolgere dal Paradiso. Allo stesso tempo l'opera delle sue suore è essenzialmente opera di misericordia. Nell'ultimo libro tradotto in italiano, Il miracolo delle piccole cose, i quattordici capitoli mettono a fuoco le sette opere di misericordia corporale che madre Teresa e le sue suore hanno compiuto, e si tratta della documentazione ufficiale della causa di canonizzazione. Che avviene provvidenzialmente nell'anno del Giubileo della misericordia, per proporre la Madre come un modello di misericordia.Qual è la cosa che più ha fatto soffrire madre Teresa in vita?Vedere continuamente la sofferenza dei poveri. Nei suoi ultimi anni di vita ripeteva spesso: «Chi si prenderà cura dei poveri?». E non si riferiva a quelli di cui le Missionarie della Carità si prendevano cura, ma ai poveri di tutto il mondo in generale. Le dava sollievo il fatto che, grazie anche alle sue iniziative, il mondo era diventato più cosciente della condizione dei poveri. Ha accettato di ricevere più di 200 premi, oltre al premio Nobel, nel corso della sua vita, in nome dei poveri e del fatto che attraverso di lei il mondo prendeva coscienza di loro.Cosa pensava madre Teresa delle critiche che le facevano persone come Christopher Hitchens, di chi la accusava di fare assistenzialismo senza affrontare le cause della miseria?Alcuni fatti che Hitchens ha riportato nel suo libro non erano precisi, come quando ha accusato madre Teresa di aver reso omaggio alla tomba del dittatore Enver Hoxha a Tirana: lei è stata portata lì come le autorità facevano con tutti i visitatori stranieri, la sua intenzione era quella di pregare sulla tomba dei suoi genitori in Albania. L'ha criticata per essersi limitata a creare una casa per i moribondi a Calcutta, quando avrebbe potuto finanziare una clinica di prim'ordine per loro. Ma quella casa era stata creata proprio per i moribondi, per persone abbandonate e senza speranza di guarigione, affinché potessero morire nella dignità. Tutti sanno la storia di quell'uomo che disse: «Ho vissuto tutta la vita come un animale, ma ora muoio come un angelo». Doveva essere un luogo dove si realizzava un incontro personale profondo fra chi accudiva il morente e il morente stesso. Ho invitato Hitchens a rendere la sua testimonianza durante il processo di beatificazione, e lui ha ammesso che la sua antipatia per madre Teresa è nata quando, nella seconda parte della sua visita alle opere delle missionarie della Carità a Calcutta, caduto il discorso sulla questione dell'aborto lei gli disse che la soluzione per le donne che volevano abortire era che partorissero e dessero il figlio in adozione. [leggi MADRE TERESA: IL PIU' GRANDE DISTRUTTORE DELLA PACE E' L'ABORTO, clicca qui, N.d.BB]Riguardo alle critiche sul fatto che lei non si occupava delle cause della miseria, la Madre ha sempre risposto che la sua missione era quella di prendersi cura dei bisogni del sofferente qui ed ora, ad altri era data quella di occuparsi della rimozione delle cause, appoggiandosi sulla dottrina sociale della Chiesa. [leggi MADRE TERESA: PORTAVA AI POVERI SIA IL PANE CHE CRISTO (NO ALL'UMANITARISMO RELATIVISTA), clicca qui, N.d.BB]Quali sono stati il santo e la santa preferiti di madre Teresa?La santa è Teresina di Lisieux, che era stata canonizzata e poi proclamata co-patrona delle missioni insieme a san Francesco Saverio proprio negli anni della formazione e dei primi voti di madre Teresa. La colpiva tantissimo la «via dell'infanzia spirituale» di Teresina, che consiste nella fiducia e nell'abbandono nelle braccia di Gesù perché lui operi in noi quando a noi è impossibile operare. Teresa tradurrà in inglese "confiance et abandon" con "trust and surrender". Fra i santi amava molto san Francesco: era l'unica immaginetta dentro al suo libro di preghiere. E sant'Ignazio di Loyola, al quale si ispirava il primo ordine religioso a cui si consacrò, quello delle suore di Loreto.Quale era la sua preghiera preferita?Era il Memorare, la preghiera di intercessione alla Vergine Maria attribuita a san Bernardo di Chiaravalle. Ne aveva fatto una novena, che chiamava la "novena volante", nella quale si ripeteva per nove volte di seguito la preghiera ogni giorno per nove giorni. Ricordo il caso di una suora che non riusciva ad avere il visto per l'allora Ddr (la Germania comunista): lei e altre suore pregarono e già dopo il primo giorno il visto arrivò. E quella non è stata l'unica grazia ottenuta attraverso la novena volante.Aveva pratiche ascetiche particolari?Solo il digiuno in concomitanza del pranzo del primo venerdì del mese. Il corrispettivo del pranzo saltato andava in un fondo speciale a cui si faceva ricorso per le richieste di aiuto impreviste. Non era attratta da pratiche ascetiche straordinarie, anche nella vita ascetica applicava il suo motto generale: "fare le cose ordinarie con un amore straordinario".Quali persone ha sentito maggiormente amiche nel corso della sua esistenza?Anzitutto Jacqueline De Decker, una donna belga che voleva diventare missionaria della carità, ma a causa di un grave problema di salute è dovuta tornare in Belgio. Madre Teresa le ha chiesto di essere il suo braccio destro spirituale, di fondare i Cooperanti sofferenti delle missionarie della Carità, che offrivano le loro sofferenze per donare alle suore la forza di compiere la loro opera di misericordia. Poi Anne Blaikie, che condusse con lei la campagna "tocca un lebbroso con la tua compassione" a Calcutta e poi fondò gli Youth Co-workers, giovani che collaborano le Missionarie della Carità. Infine Kathryn Spink, figlia di diplomatici britannici e scrittrice di successo: madre Teresa si fidò tanto di lei da farne la sua biografa autorizzata.Si è molto parlato della "notte dell'anima" che scese su madre Teresa a un certo momento. Come attraversò quel tempo e come ne uscì?Non è uscita dall'oscurità per il resto della sua vita. Di solito nella vita dei mistici la notte dell'anima è un passaggio verso l'unione mistica con Cristo. In madre Teresa la cosa è diversa. Lei afferma di avere provato la dolcezza dell'unione della sua anima con Cristo fra il 10 settembre 1946, il giorno in cui si manifesta in lei l'ispirazione per quella che sarà la sua opera, e la metà del 1947, quando comincia a visitare gli slum di Calcutta. In quel momento la dolcezza svanisce e non torna più. Questa seconda esperienza di oscurità, dopo che era avvenuta l'unione mistica con Cristo, la definirei un'oscurità apostolica, missionaria. Lei capisce che la povertà più grande dell'uomo non è quella materiale, ma il sentirsi non amati, abbandonati, soli, ed è ciò che lei stessa sperimenta nel rapporto con Cristo: ha il sentimento che Gesù non la ama e che lei non riesce ad amare Gesù come vorrebbe. Diceva: «Lo stato della mia anima è come quello dei poveri che vivono per strada».Paradossalmente questa aridità del rapporto con Cristo l'ha unita maggiormente a lui e ai poveri. A lui perché ha condiviso con lui l'esperienza della solitudine nell'orto del Getsemani e dell'abbandono da parte di Dio sulla croce, quando Gesù dice: "Mio Dio, mio Dio, perché mi hai abbandonato?". E con i poveri perché è diventata come loro non solo nello stile povero di vita, ma nel condividere il loro senso di abbandono, di solitudine, di assenza dell'amore.

For this special bonus episode, Noiser writer Duncan Barrett sat down for a chat with Witold Szabłowski, author of How to Feed a Dictator: Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin, Enver Hoxha, Fidel Castro and Pol Pot Through the Eyes of Their Cooks. The role of personal chef to a dictator is a fascinating one. It's an extremely intimate relationship. These cooks have literally nourished tyrants. They've satisfied their culinary cravings, altered their moods for better and worse, and even influenced their policies. So what can they tell us about dictators' appetites?

Da Lea Ypi var liten, så hun på Stalin og Albanias leder Enver Hoxha som trygge farsfigurer, hun likte at lærerinnen Nora hadde enkle svar på alt, og det hun ønsket seg mest av alt var å bli pioner. Men når det kommunistiske regimet faller i 1991, forstår unge Lea at ingenting er som hun har trodd. Har hele livet hennes vært en løgn?I boka Fri. En oppvekst ved historiens ende (til norsk ved Inger Sverreson Holmes) skildrer Ypi en oppvekst utenom det vanlige: Før hun ble myndig hadde hun opplevd et kommunistisk regime og dets fall, nyliberalismen som overtok og en grufull borgerkrig. Med sanselighet, detaljrikdom og en stor dose humor gir Ypi leseren et unikt innblikk i Albanias nyere historie og brytninger mellom ideologier og politiske og økonomiske interesser.Lea Ypi er oppvokst i Albania, men er i dag professor i politisk teori ved London School of Economics, der hun blant annet underviser om marxisme. Memoarboka Fri ble tildelt Ondaatje-prisen og kåret til en av årets beste bøker, blant annet i The New Yorker og Financial Times.På Litteraturhuset møter Ypi Marianne Marthinsen til samtale. Marthinsen er forfatter av både skjønnlitteratur og sakprosa. Hun har lang fartstid fra AUF og Arbeiderpartiet, og satt på Stortinget for Arbeiderpartiet fra 2005 til 2021. Hun jobber i dag i Finans Norge. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As a little girl, Lea Ypi regarded Stalin and Albania's leader Enver Hoxha as dependable father figures, she liked how her teacher Nora har simple answers to everything, and what she wanted most of all, was to be named a pioneer. But when the communist regime falls in 1991, the young Lea suddenly realizes that nothing is truly like she thought. Has her whole life been a lie?In her memoir Free: Coming of Age at the End of History, Ypi depicts an unusual childhood: Before she came of age, she had lived trough a communist regime and its fall, the neoliberal society that succeeded it, as well as a ghastly civil war. With acute awareness, attention to detail and no small amount of wit, Ypi offers her reader a unique insight into Albania's recent history and contention between ideologies and political and economic interests.With her childhood in Albania, Lea Ypi is today a professor of political theory at London School of Economics, where she, among other things, teaches Marxism. Her memoir Free was awarded the Ondaatje prize and named one of the best books of 2022 by both The New Yorker and Fincancial Times.At the House of Literature, Ypi will be joined in conversation by Marianne Marthinsen. Marthinsen is a writer of both fiction and non-fiction. Her background is from Norway's Worker's Youth League and the Labour Party, which she represented in parliament between 2005 and 2021. Today, she works for Finance Norway. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the 1970s, Albania's Stalinist leader, Enver Hoxha, launched a new series of purges against government ministers and officials, following numerous purges in previous decades. Those accused of being ‘enemies' of the ruling Party of Labour were executed or received lengthy prison sentences. Their families were punished too. Many were sent into internal exile and forced to work in the fields. Rob Walker speaks to Kozara Kati whose father was imprisoned in 1975. She spent 15 years in a camp with her mother, brother and sister. Rob also hears from Fred Abrahams, long term researcher and writer on Albania, who is the author of ‘Modern Albania: From Dictatorship to Democracy in Europe'.

En 1990, quand la dictature albanaise est renversée, Lea Ypi a 11 ans. Dans son récit, Free, a child and a country at the end of history publié aux éditions Norton & Company, celle qui est aujourd'hui professeur de théorie politique à la London School of Economics, nous propose une réflexion autour de la liberté que les Albanais convoitaient tant lors du renversement du régime communiste et qui n'a parfois été qu'un mirage. Elle raconte l'effondrement du communisme, les ravages du libéralisme, mais aussi le bouleversement personnel que cette révolution engendre chez la petite fille élevée dans le culte du dictateur Enver Hoxha.

“Amazing stories . . . Intimate portraits of how [these five ruthless leaders] were at home and at the table.” —Lulu Garcia-Navarro, NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday Anthony Bourdain meets Kapuściński in this chilling look from within the kitchen at the appetites of five of the twentieth century's most infamous dictators, by the acclaimed author of Dancing Bears. What was Pol Pot eating while two million Cambodians were dying of hunger? Did Idi Amin really eat human flesh? And why was Fidel Castro obsessed with one particular cow? Traveling across four continents, from the ruins of Iraq to the savannahs of Kenya, Witold Szabłowski tracked down the personal chefs of five dictators known for the oppression and massacre of their own citizens—Iraq's Saddam Hussein, Uganda's Idi Amin, Albania's Enver Hoxha, Cuba's Fidel Castro, and Cambodia's Pol Pot—and listened to their stories over sweet-and-sour soup, goat-meat pilaf, bottles of rum, and games of gin rummy. Dishy, deliciously readable, and dead serious, How to Feed a Dictator provides a knife's-edge view of life under tyranny.

Born and raised in Communist Albania, Dr. Elida Dakoli overcame unprecedented political persecution from the regime run by Enver Hoxha and the Party of Labour of Albania. In Part 1 of this remarkable journey, she shares the origins of her extraordinary family story and some of her first-hand experiences in harsh living circumstances under a cruel communist dictatorship.Click HERE for Part 2!Learn more about Elida's story and work on her website: elidadakoli.com!SUBSCRIBE to our e-mail list for the latest news and updates from Friends & Fellow Citizens!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/friendsfellowcitizens)

Aberdeen fish market ferry, Hong Kong, reimagined by Keith de Mendonca. "I visited the fish market in Hong Kong many years ago and so I had some small connection with the place and the sound recording - grinding sounds of ice-cutting machines, noises of machinery and wet fish containers echoing about a large hall.   "Some of these clanging noises were used to create the rhythm of this piece. "A music box given to me as a Christmas present became another sound source - its sad tones suggested a piece of music about loss. "I can't quite explain how I ended up listening to an archive radio broadcast from Albania's Radio Tirana... but the portentous message provided the theme and a voice to finally bind the piece together. Enver Hoxha's passing resulted in the opening up of Albania; Hong Kong's political tectonic plates are now also changing fast - moving the island in the opposite direction towards the mainland's political system."

Enver Hoxha

Enver Hoxha

Colouring in the spaces between the headlines. In this edition: the Front National is expected to do well in the French regional elections - our correspondent goes for a drive along the Cote d'Azur and asks why the party's apparently finding favour with voters. 'We cannot allow our revolution to be stolen!' The Venezuelan president has been imploring the electorate there to give his socialists another term in office, but most observers feel the left's grip on this nation will be severely weakened in this weekend's election. Three and a half million and counting! We find out why so many young Nepalis have decided to leave their country. And is it the truth or is it just paranoia? We hear that the influence of the long-dead dictator Enver Hoxha continues even today in Albania.
