A must-read for any Albanian thirsting for knowledge of Mirdita and the Gjomarku Dynasty.

The book features more than 280 photographs which are very representative of the Markagjoni history from the early XX century up until the present. It deserved to be told.

A unique work, detailed and very important for all historians, and seekers of the truth about the family of the Kapidan of Mirdita, Gjon Marka Gjoni, and their suffering under the communist regime in Albania between 1944-1991.

It degrades, violates, and tarnishes everything the Albanians possess, including our feelings, name, property, moral virtues, family, honor, and faith, and it refuses to recognize the great God.

Degrada, viola e offusca tutto ciò che gli albanesi possiedono, inclusi i nostri sentimenti, il nostro nome, la nostra proprietà, le nostre virtù morali, la nostra famiglia, l’onore e la fede, e rifiuta di riconoscere il grande Dio quale Dio.

They no longer require our services, but the people will never forget the calvary endured by Albania’s political persecuted during the communist dictatorship.

Non hanno più bisogno del nostro servizio, ma le persone non dimenticheranno mai il calvario vissuto dai perseguitati politici albanesi durante la dittatura comunista.
