A white hot exploration of transgressive love

With his withered hand and disfiguring pock marks, Stalin didn't really meet anyone's ideal of a good looking man. True, the beourgeois standards of the West put all the emphasis on surface gloss, generally ignoring ideological virility. But even by the more human standards of Marxist Leninism, Stalin was kind of a troll. But Hoxha saw something beyond the cabbage leavings on Stalin's tunic; Hoxha understood that the Little Georgian had it going on. Reading between the lines in this erotic Roman a Clef is a pleasant enough way to spend an afternoon. Hoxha's gaze is unrelenting in contemplating the object of his obsession, and the text crackles with the weight of Hoxha's true ardor pushing against the flimsy bonds of ideological decorum. Read it aloud to your favorite cadre, and hammers to sickles, you'll be getting busy like a Red Army Tank division in Budapest. Hot!

Almost as great a leader as Pol Pot!

Enver Hoxha was one of the greatest thinkers and leaders who ever lived. He managed to maintain "cold" wars with the US, USSR, and China at the same time!It is because of Hoxha's genius that Albania became the paradise it is today.Everything he ever wrote -- shopping lists, postcards, purge lists, death sentences, should be read by every human being many times.

Great work by a great man

...The work showes clearly the work of an outstanding writer, thinker and fighter for the victory of socialism. In his work comerade Hoxha explains how all his moves in international relations were to ensure the independence of Albania as well as to ensure the final triumph of socialism in his country for the benefit of his countrymen.
