Summary/Abstract: The reading of the novel “The allies are frozen” invite as to explore in an artistic development a dismal part of history of Kosovo: the event and repression of the demonstration of first of April 1981, where literary narration of Kadare pours out facts and a historic atmosphere, exploring their political essence as an exploration of human essence, through the truth, inside the truth. We propose not only the analysis of the construction of novel in itself (the structure, style, and literary esthetic), the analysis of terms and their history (the analysis of the “differentiation” would be with interest, also and the reason-consequences of using of this politic nation, that entitles some from the parts of text of Kadare), but also the view and knitting of a reality which admits at the representation of human values and virtues, virtues which author seems as if feeds to our Albanian culture: humanism and resistance. This construct of the novel that knits the political and literal without differential one firom the other generating that which can be called a social art, unfolds the form, thoughts and style of engagement of Kadare and his literature in a politic action, as stimulating in ideas, as grower in purpose, for Kosovo question. The idea of forgiveness and coexistence of two peoples that seems as if are hated for many times, stands like an ax of this roman: the idea of natural right travels with the hope of a political right in perpetualling of events and description of personages, staying in time to find the place and action today too: “To forgive doesn't mean to forget”. The novel remains like a document of history which has not to be forgotten.
