Summary/Abstract: The article aims at treating the way in which I. Kadare treats the legend of stoning in the “The bridge with three arches”. The short-story is published as part of the trilogy with the same title in 1978. Next two works: “The Great Pashaliks” and “The Twilight of Steppe Gods”. The writer states that this placement is randomly made, but the reviewer M. Mandola, admits that this choice is not accidental. From this point of view it is also treated in the article (see item 2). This attempt implies an overall description of the whole historical epoch, in order for the reader to get a precise impression for an etemal Albania. That is the very reason of such an edition: there’s the Roman-Byzantium Albania, of Muslim-ottoman and soviet-communist described in all the 3 works composing the volume. Even the next reasoning of the writer itself, who has preferably published a major part of works as short- stories, in order to protect them from censure, is not enough. The work gets the original material from one of the most thrilling and old creational pieces from the ballad of stoning. Therefore, in the author’s mind, that has been a work conceived from the very beginning as an historic chronicle, interrelated with other types of narration, typical modem - like of the 20,h century, an ars combinatoria, as the modem literature theory would have label it. Actually, the author stores a part of his idea and applies the chronicle form, but throughout the work’s explication content overcomes, getting the message across to the narration modemism. The only way of narration remaining is that of chronicle, where the narration takes on the chronicle’s person role by reinforcing the historical element (realistic)
