The famous writer Ismail Kadare passed away at the age of 88. 

It is suspected that the famous writer died of natural causes.

Family members found him dead in his apartment in the early hours of Monday morning. They announced the emergency of QSUT, but they could not help the colossus of Albanian letters. 

Ismail Kadare was born in Gjirokastra on January 28, 1936.

He was an academic, a politician, a former deputy of the People's Assembly and one of the greatest contemporary writers.

As a writer, he is notable mainly for prose, but his contribution also extends to dramaturgy, poetry and translations. He started writing when he was still young, first poetry, with which he became known, and then prose, becoming the main Albanian prose writer.

Until today, his works have been translated into about 45 different languages, thus being the main representative of Albanian literature around the world.

In 1996 Kadare became a permanent member of the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences in France. It has been honored with many international awards, including the "Man Booker International" Prize in 2005, the "Princesa de Asturias" Prize for the Arts in 2009 and the "Jerusalem" Prize in 2015. /CNA
