The human being is placed between the aesthetic perspective of the world and the great adventure of truth, which cannot be named, but only intuited. This is the truth of the mystery, of the extramundane God, creator of cosmic harmony, who motivates time and space and, therefore, the divine nature of man. The vision of religious poetry is neither aporia nor anthropocentrism. We can observe an essentially religious thought in which origin and finality, time and eternity are imposed as necessary terms. In the vision of the authors of religious works in literature, the universe is the unfolding of the absolute and universal reason, of divine thinking, in which man, separated from virtuality by appropriateness to time and space, lives, opts and decides through attitude, seeking solutions to the problems of the spirit in the affective area. The recognition of the limits, of the status of a creature, awakens in man’s soul the mystical fear in front of an absolute power, which transcends everything - space, time and man - and which presents itself as a mystery, the mystery somehow constituting the form of the qualitative content of the absolute, inaccessible force, that fascinates man.

At the beginning of the 1990s, many Albanian writers found in the past the inspiration for many literary challenges. Ismail Kadare, Fatos Kongoli, Dritero Agolli, Kasem Trebeshina, but also Visar Zhiti, Agron Tufa, Besnik Mustafaj, etc. interpreted the journey between the past and the present as a displacement in space, as a journey through which the writer overturns the usual vision of the world. The 1990s were not only the radical undoing of a half-century-old dominant system, but also the illustration of the biblical exodus toward Western Europe. The desire to escape was present in almost every Albanian family and the number of those who challenged the borders was extraordinary for the size a small country as Albania. The large moving mass was heterogeneous and transcended any cultural, social and societal differentiation, but in literature it was also translated into the departure of a large number of potential readers and possible writers of Albanian literature. During this movement, it was possible to move away from what was known, before and the present was interpreted with a new vision and identity. In this context, we will try to analyse some problematic issues as follows:- The stage and positioning of contemporary Albanian literature- Beyond the borders of Albania - Migration literature- Shadows of the past: Rebellion of Memory

,,Comparable to Lamartinism and Hugolianism, Byron's influence on Romanian literature has a ferment value," because it spread rapidly and "it was fashionable in the West and especially in Paris" responding to the need of a "society caught in the whirlwind of fitting into European culture and which, detached from patriarchal and oriental forms, is looking for a national frame." Byron entered the Romanian literary spheres during the pasoptist period and "(...) becomes a legendary figure in the spring of 1812, with the deliberate shadow of a Haroldian identity hanging over his own person. Such an author-character mixture was a delicacy of the romantic kitchen since Goethe's Werther, whose sufferings were identified with the disease of time." (our translation) which represents the first testimony of this trend that will spread its fragrance in the Romanian letters.
