THE HUMANISTIC ASPECTS IN THE NOVEL “KALESH ANGJA” BY STALE POPOV

Summary/Abstract: The novel “Kalesh Angja” by Stale Popov is a literary work of profound historical and ethical value, depicting the struggle for freedom of the Macedonian people and the preservation of human dignity. This paper focuses on the humanistic aspects represented in the novel, examining the personal choices, moral strength and values of the main character - the beautiful Mari woman Angja. Through the analysis of her defiance before the Ottoman government, universal human values are highlighted: the right to freedom, the preservation of personal and national identity, love for the homeland and perseverance in the face of injustice. Parallel to her, we also encounter the humanistic characteristics of Mehmet Pasha Sokolović, in whose character the power of the Ottoman statesman and deep human values are intertwined. Although he is part of the Ottoman government, Mehmet Pasha is not presented as a cruel tyrant, but as a man who values dignity, honor and human feelings. He has a broader understanding of different cultures and religions, and his attitude is not filled with hatred but with an attempt to find a human connection between differences. This paper confirms that the novel “Kalesh Angja” is a historical account that sends a strong humanistic message that is valid beyond the time in which it was created.
