The new novel of the well-known author Virgjil Muçi, "The Three Lives of Mr. P," was presented yesterday at the National Book and Reading Center, a publication of Dituria Publishing House, in the presence of fellow writers, friends, journalists, and students who are passionate about reading. The publisher Petrit Ymeri, in his brief speech, called the work a new peak of the writer Muçi, regardless of his small indecision to call it a dystopian or phantasmagoric novel.
The work describes the story of Mr. P, developed in three worlds, where he, president of the Republic of Violets, a small and weightless country, wakes up one day and sees that he misses everything that once surrounded him. He will have to cross three worlds to "find" them.
"The Three Lives of Mr. P" is a novel about love indeed, but about a man's boundless and inalienable love for power over human beings in its fullest expression, not only physically but also spiritually. For the sake of this mission, Mr. P undertakes an unusual journey to three worlds: that of ordinary mortals, i.e., Earth; that of eternal shadows, the Underworld; to stop at the last station, where he is forced to pay the tribute: self-denial, to ensure eternity.
In this way, a dictator undertakes an almost Dantesque journey, while he was once an ordinary man, one of those we have among us, but the power alienates him to the extent that they want to create a new religion, their religion.
The presentation of the book and the direction of the event were carried out by the cultural journalist Fatmira Nikolli.
