In child’s mind and under the crude supervisory of educational apparatus, the art of calligraphy (Alb. bukurshkrimi) transmits slogans of party leaders and pseudo-patriotic content, in a similar way like the art of narrating in Albanian Stories overlaps imagination and fantasy with the cruelty of political reality and the harshness of everyday life.
