Mythology, fable and literature are the coordinates of the thirteen stories contained in this collection. The title offers a selection of some of the most interesting voices of the twentieth century Albanian literature, committed to investigating reality moving along different lines: the conflict between the new and the tradition, lived in the complexity of the family sphere, in friendship and in the solitude of meditation; the history of the past, far and near, as a key to rediscover one's own identity; nature as a magical space and interior place of man, in which he lives, lives and dies. What emerges is a simple and tragic vision of humanity, against the background of an undisputed trust in life. At the center of everything, men who seem to be there, always on the threshold, as if waiting for something. As children. In the year that celebrates the twenty-fifth anniversary of the landing of twenty thousand Albanian migrants in the port of Bari, on board the Vlora, Dal paese delle aquile offers the opportunity to get to know more closely the culture and the feeling of a people whose events they are often intertwined with those of Italy.
