Histori e Skënderbeut
Heroi legjendar, luftëtari kreshnik dhe atdhetari i flaktë, që mbi gjithçka vë atdheun, edhe mbi interesin vetjak – poema epike “Historia e Skënderbeut” u botua më 1898, dy vjet para vdekjes së Naimit. Kjo vepër e fundit që botoi ai, mbeti si testamenti i tij, sepse në të përmblodhi dhe shprehu me pathos të fuqishëm idealet për lirinë e Shqipërisë dhe rrugën e saj drejt përparimit.

About the author
Naim Frashëri
52 books36 followersNaim Frashëri was an Albanian poet and writer. He was one of the most prominent figures of the Albanian National Awakening (Albanian: Rilindja Kombëtare) of the 19th century, together with his two brothers Sami and Abdyl. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Albania.
Naim studied at the Zosimea Greek high school of Ioannina, when the city was part of the Ottoman Empire.
As he hailed from a family with long connections to the Bektashi Sufi order, Naim became an Ottoman official in Sarandë, Berat, and Ioannina. In 1882, Frashëri went to Istanbul and started his service in Ottoman culture ministry.
Naim took part in the National Renaissance of Albania, and often had to sign his writings using his initials, as otherwise he would have placed himself in danger working in an official Ottoman position. His works had to be smuggled into Albania.[citation needed]
His earliest writings were poetry. The very first pieces Frashëri wrote were in Persian. In all, he authored twenty-two major works: four in Turkish, one in Persian, two in Greek and fifteen in Albanian. His early patriotic poems and highly popular lyric poetry were strongly influenced by Persian literature, and later also French poetry. He also translated several fables of Jean de la Fontaine, Homer's Iliad, and wrote articles on didactics and Islamic practice. Naim's poem Herds and Tillage depicts the activities of the shepherd and the tiller, alongside his personal reflections on the beauty of Albanian landscapes and expressions of longing for his homeland. The epic poem Skanderbeg's Story retells the life of the Albanian national hero George Kastrioti Skanderbeg intertwined with imaginary episodes.
