Summary/Abstract: Filan's Quantum Love is a biographical novel about the life of one of the most important personalities of the Albanian world of the 20th century. Since the author is a participant in the events then the witnessing role of the novel is of particular importance. There is no other novel in Albanian literature that gives a better description of the situation in Kosovo after the Second World War. The narrator recounts the events by skipping some of them. He focuses on the events, which he selects for the impact they have had on his memory as well as their weight in people's lives. The structure of the novel allows the author to say a lot in a few words. The novel is divided into two parts: the electronic letters sent to Dardha and the stories that tell about Filan's life. The first part deals with Filan's present, and the stories with his past. There are many names in the novel, many characters that Filan's life has encountered, but there is only one character that is completely constructed. Despite this some characters, though episodic, remain long in the reader's memory. The events and situations that are narrated in the novel have a general character as well. They affect not only Filan's life, but also the lives of all the people. Dialogue is an important component of the text. In many stories we have Filan's "confrontation" with a character. Such situations are characterized by dialogues, which are in function of defining of the characters, but also in function of testimony for a while. The most frequent dialogues are in the form of questions-answers. The variety of narrative perspectives sets Filan's Quantum Love apart. Different situations, meeting people of different profiles make the story, but also the dialogue to have the tone, color and discourse that reflects the situations, events and the general atmosphere. In Filan's Quantum Love we also know the inner world of the man who has not hidden his actions and thoughts. Rare are personalities like Adem Demaçi who, throughout their lives, have had in full compliance the word and the action. As a novel about an extraordinary man and about an unusual time; as a novel of artistic and evidential value Filan's Quantum Love should be included in school curricula so that pupils and students, through art, recognize an important period in the life of the Albanian people and, why not, recognize one of the most special and important figures of the nation. Despite the fact that the literary work is analyzed separately from the name of its author, the name of Adem Demaçi will always be in the mind of the reader whenever Adem Dema is read.
