Albanian writer Majlinda Bregasi presented her novel “The Cut Braid” on the evening of October 6 at Sofia University. The event was attended by the translator of Majlinda Bregasi’s books – Assoc. Prof. Ekaterina Tarpomanova, a lecturer at Sofia University and former member of the Albanian language section of Radio Bulgaria, also the representative of the Kosovo Embassy in Sofia, Bujar Deskai, as well as lecturers and students from Sofia University, including graduates of the “Balkan Studies” major, where Albanian language and literature are studied.

At the presentation, the publishers described “The Cut Braid” as a strong Balkan novel about successes that do not matter when the most important human ties fall apart. But it is also a novel about failures that heal. In the book, Majlinda Bregasi examines the current Balkan problem of fleeing from one’s homeland and severing the bond with it in order to succeed in the West.

Bregasi was born in Albania, but works and writes in Kosovo and Italy. The author has won the biggest literary awards in Kosovo and has been nominated for the European Prize for Literature. She is a lecturer in Italian and Latin at the University of Pristina and is the director of the Institute for Italian Language and Culture. Her novel "Escape" has also been translated into Bulgarian.
