Summary/Abstract: In this article we propose to present the Albanian author of the novel Le Petit Bala ou la Légende de la Solitude, a work that oscillates between tradition and modernity. The main character Bala succumbs to the clutches of exclusion, loneliness, and failed conquest in both love and revenge. A psychological novel, a particular segmented style that perfectly matches the original pen of Ridvan Dibra, author of a resurrected legend. The merit of the French translator is not to be overlooked: a translation very close to the original writing in Albanian, a loyal translation adding to other works by this author which have been translated into various foreign languages.
