Abstract

The widely known Albanian writer, Ismail Kadare, is
the most important representative of the Albanian literature and culture in
Spain. El País and ABC, dedicated to Kadare almost all the articles in total,
which are related to cultural news on Albania during two decades, 1990-2010.
Usually Kadare appears on both newspapers whenever his books are published or
republished in Spanish. Both newspapers consider him as “eternal candidate of
the Nobel Prize in Literature”, “a living genius”, “one of the greatest names
of the contemporary world literature”, “master of prose”, similar to Kafka and
Borges. Kadare´s example shows how an important writer makes known and helps
create a profile for his country through the international media.
