Bala's Spasma song "came out in 1906 as a separate book, as it was published part of the Arbëresh press. It deals with current problems of time, addressing the historical past, Skanderbeg's time. The work is based on two central ideas: one resembles the idea expressed by De Rada in "Songs of Milosoa" that there can be no personal happiness when the homeland is suffering, and the other idea is that the homeland can be released only by armed struggle. The first idea is elaborated through the line of love.
The second is devoted to a special line of live pictures of the battles of Albanians with the Ottomans. Other ideas that radiate the central idea are the idea of the necessity of a strong leadership and the idea of joining the Albanians, the idea of the vitality of the nation, of the high virtues that distinguish it, the idea of war to preserve it clean, protecting From the risk of assimilation from other nations.
Though it reflects in its poem the tragedy of the unequal struggle of Albanians with a great military power like Turkey, by describing the gruesome paintings of the battles and the tragic fate of the main heroes, the poet points to the greatness of the homeland, the victory . The heroics here are given through battle charts that also have objective historical bases, such as Berat and Valkala's battles. Even the symbolic shrill of trees at the end of the work can be understood as an assertion of inexhaustible vitality, the vitality of a people in constant war with those who want to extinguish it.
Dara also expresses the tragedy of exiled Arbëreshes outside the Homeland, giving our literature through the figure of Elder Balas a new type, the exiled Arbëresh type of foreign dachshund. His patriotic ideas have embodied the main characters, Niku and Paul, the characters of Bala and Dada and Skanderbeg, who, although the episodic character plays a special role in the poem. Niko and Paul are heroes inspired by folklore, who have taken on the characteristics of romantic patriotic heroes.
Dara is the great master of the art of speech. His work is renowned for the richness of artistic tools, for a lively and beautiful language, and above all for the extensive and comprehensive support of Arbëresh folklore.

The bad relations between the two do not arise so much from envy, the less intelligent mentality that seems to appear more to the writers than to any other brotherhood, and that is banal not only to a genius, but to every person. The clash occurs between the pacifist and humanitarian Christendom Christianity of Tolsto, which Dostoyevsky rejects, and the centrality of Christ, or the belief in a good God, for the author of the "Devils" Thomas Manni's famous book dedicated to Dostoyevsky has the title: "Dostoevski - me measure". Title is not very happy because confronting an author and his work - especially if they are giant, disturbing and thrilling - does not follow a diet, nor the recommended doses in medicine labels. In the work of a great author - even more so when talking about a great one - immersion without being measured and without hesitation, without means of salvation, like in a troubled sea, or not diving at all. It does not mean to abandon your judgment and your values, to submit in idolatry to his greatness; With the great creators becoming legitimate faced with their heads up and without fear, even disputing them, in a dialogue and a relationship that, if they are authentic, are always at that moment, a meeting between equals, between two people who , In their relationship - in this case at the moment of reading - are always equal, no matter what the importance of each other, beyond this dialogue between them, in the history of the world. In every confrontation, in every dialogue, the protagonist, as in the Trinity, is the soul, or rather the relationship between the two, at the moment when they are both face to face. Dostoyevsky is a writer who has shaken our foundations, our protections, our accommodation with the world from the foundation. If we were to show a date and a work of the birth of contemporary narrative, the right choice would be "Notes from the Dead House"; The man of the dead man who Nietzsche identified with the superman would have been, in various forms, the protagonist of Western literature for almost two centuries, and is still. At the same time, Dostoyevsky has raised, like no other writer, the final questions about human destiny, suffering and love; On the salvation and loss of man.
Dostoyevsky and Nietzsche have lived in depth nihilism as the true and historical truth of the times; The first one considered a disease to be healed, while the second one exalted - or rather was forced to elevate - as a liberation to be celebrated. The future of our civilization, Vittorio Strada wrote long ago, will also depend on which of the two will be right.
To document Dostoyevsky's inexhaustible upheaval - for what concerns the fundamental questions of our lives, our history, our individual and political fate - has now emerged a book by Gustav Zagrebelsky, "Free Servants: The Inquisitor Great and the enigma of power, "faced with a strong insight and passionate participation, the shocking motives of Dostoyevsky's work, the radical question of nothingness and power, with all its consequences. A book by which you have to look to the end.
Just as in Dostoyevsky, even in Tolstoy literature, precisely because it is so terribly large, exceeds the highest poetic value to touch the extreme questions about life, the last things on which salvation or loss of humanity is played. For the often conflicting relationship between the two giants has emerged in Italy a book by Graziano Bianchi, with a large synthetic force. Dostoyevsky reads "Ana Karenina", says Bianchi's book title, which is part of a collection of books dedicated to different authors, but above all, to two Russian giants, especially the author of "Crime and Punishment".
Dostoyev readers and Tolstoy. Both Titans know each other's immaculate value. For Dostoyevsky, "Ana Karenina" is the perfect work and "nothing in contemporary European literature can be compared to it." Tolstoy, according to Steiner, in his extreme flight to death, is said to have taken with him "Brothers Karamazov".
The bad relations between the two do not arise so much from envy, the less intelligent mentality that seems to appear more to the writers than to any other brotherhood, and that is banal not only to a genius, but to every person. The clash occurs between the pacifist and humanitarian Christendom of Christ Tolstoy, which Dostoyevsky rejects, and the center of Christ, or the belief in a good God, for the author of the "Devils".
But the clash happens above all in the vision on Russia, a metaphysical meeting place between East and West, as it underlined
Merežkovski, and the bearer of a mission
Universal and new Christianity. Dostoyevsky, who is placed on the side of the insane and the humiliated - to hire the title of another novel - scolds Tolstoy that he writes A "landowner's literature," and scolds even for the interest of useless people such as Vronski, and his likes, who "can not speak for anything other than horses." Tolstoy, on the other hand, speaks, of course, with no less contempt for "all these unrealistic teen idiots, such as Raskolnikov and others." But Dostoyevsky criticizes all Tolstoy - and especially his Levin in "Ana Karenina" For the lack of an "immediate sense of slavery, desertion, disengagement from the great common Russian cause". Levin's pacification seems a false humanitarianism because it is insensitive to the suffering of the Russian people and Slavic peoples - which Dostoyevsky described as being massacred, tortured and raped by Turks - and because it is against the abduction of weapons to protect . The Tolstoy pacifism - at that time for the Russian-Turkish war - seems to Dostoyevsky an incomprehensible handover to the Evil One, the selfish deity of the Unit. Dostoyevsky's universality, understood as no other person in the heart of man's mind and heart, is intertwined not only with a very human participation in the sufferings of his people, but also with the vision of a universal mission of the Russian people, as great as it is , Can no longer accept the privileged and special missions that embrace any other people that so much irritated Christ. More than ever, it is imperative to go back and read the great writers to find or reconfirm through them , Our truth. You can not choose between Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky, between Shakespeare and Dante, or between Homer and the Servant; Even in great literature, there are many rooms in the Father's house. A middle school friend, believed Dostoevsky was the Russian name of Tolstoy ...

Irma weakens to Category 4 storm but continues to pound Caribbean on way to Florida
Hurricane Irma was downgraded to a Category 4 storm early Friday, but it continues to advance closer to Florida.
The powerful storm, with its 150 mph winds and crippling storm surges, pummeled Turks and Caicos and made its way toward Cuba’s northern shores, the National Hurricane Center said.
Irma is projected to make landfall in Florida on Sunday, making its way up straight up the peninsula.
“Obviously Hurricane Irma continues to be a threat that is going to devastate the United States,” Federal Emergency Management Agency chief Brock Long said at a press conference in Washington, D.C. “We’re going to have a couple rough days. ”The massive storm could usher in chaos to storm-prone areas in southern Florida such as the Keys and densely populated Miami.
“Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves,” warns an NHS advisory.
