At the UT was promoted the book “Enciklopedia imagjinare – postroman” – (Imaginary encyclopedia- post-novel) by the author Prof. Dr. Bajram Kosumi. “Enciklopedia imagjinare – postroman”-(Imaginary encyclopedia- post-novel), of the author Prof. Dr. Bajram Kosumi is a great experiment with literature: with the literary genre, with the theme and with the type of discourse. The change appears in the title, which contains a scientific element – the encyclopedia and an artistic element – imagination.
At the promotion of this book were present a large number of personalities from academic, intellectual and social life.
To the participants in this promotion with welcoming speech addressed the Rector of the UT, Prof. Dr. Jusuf Zejneli, who first thanked the author of the book for his contribution to the publication of this special work. Additionally, he thanked the author for selecting the University of Tetova as the venue to promote the book to both students and professors.
The reviewers of the book discussed its importance, content, and the message it conveys.
Prof. Dr. Agim Vinca stated that the “Enciklopedia imagjinare” is a work worth reading and even re-reading, both for its content and its skillful narration. He likened it to entering a large and dense forest, where each step reveals amazing scenery as well as frightening scenes and sights.
Prof. Dr. Ismail Syla remarked that in this book, the encyclopedic element reflects profound contemplation on the people, actions, processes, and psychological, social, and historical events in the lives of the islanders. Meanwhile, the imaginary element portrays a limitless world of singular focus and subconsciousness—a history of imagination across three distinct time periods, where the islanders both inhabit and leave their mark.
The Vice-Rector for International Relations of the University of Tetova, Prof. Dr. Salajdin Salihi, also provided evaluations for the book by Prof. Dr. Bajram Kosumi. Among other things, he emphasized: ‘Enciklopedia imagjinare’ is written with mind, soul, pain, and a dose of humor. It is a book that does not serve as a reference for scientific studies or for making an academic career. Instead, it is a book for those who love something without ulterior motives, just as Kant defined beauty. Henceforth, I also have a favorite writer: Bajram Kosumi”.
The author of the book, Prof. Dr. Bajram Kosumi, emphasized that the only thing no one can take away is time. He stated: ‘This is the fundamental concept of this book—time is yours, and you are the master of your time. If you find the key to utilizing your time effectively, you are a genius, you are a winner. You overcome both imprisonment and captivity because we strive not to forget. I have come to the conclusion that every word can be a key, and it has the potential to unlock the essence of human life itself.
