For many years now in our literary and cultural life, the author Kristaq F. Shabani presents himself in a rather extraordinary way. And this means in that way and in those sizes in which even many other authors and many cultural, literary and scientific institutions of the Albanian space cannot present themselves. This finding leads us to a necessity to see the authorial ingredients of the author, which are as characteristic as his engagements. Kristaq F. Shabani is a specialized scholar of aesthetics, who has made a part of his gift as a poet and prose writer, as a journalist and organiser and participant in the literary life of the Albanian, regional and international space the literary and aesthetical concepts. Beyond the borders of his works, such as: “A Seat in heavens”, “Broken Virtue”, “Angel’s Elegy”, “Autumn’s Joy”, “The subject of the fatal”, “Great gambol of death” etc., is not difficult for the trends to be seen and his intellectual tastes. It is not accidental the fact that not only the titles of his works but also their subtitles, such as: “Great gambol of death” which contains the subtitle neo-novel drama; “The bride’s meadow”, which has the subtitle close to novelette, or the novel “The Villa of formations” with the subtitle (The Globe’s drama in e piece of paper).
