Among his literary works, an important place is occupied by the poem &#8220;Old&#8217;s&#8221; (<i>Childe Harold&#8217;s Pilgrimage,<\/i> 1812 &#8211; 1817), written based on impressions from the poet&#8217;s travels in Spain, Greece, Albania, Switzerland, Italy, etc. The poem is permeated by the pathos of the struggle for freedom of oppressed and enslaved peoples. In it, George Byron sang to the manly traditions and customs of the Albanians, their bravery and ardent love for freedom. In 1955, the work was translated into Albanian by Sk\u00ebnder Petro Luarasi. <i>(In the photo: Portrait &#8220;Lord Byron in Albanian costume&#8221;, 1813, by Thomas Philips.)<\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Text:<\/strong> <i>Albanian encyclopedic dictionary &#8211; Vol. 1,<\/i> Academy of Sciences of Albania, &#8220;Kristalina-KH&#8221;, Tirana, 2008, page 156.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photo: <\/strong>\u00a9 https:\/\/sq.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lord_Bajroni<\/p>\n<p><strong>Graphic processing: <\/strong>AHCF<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>George Gordon Byron (1788\u20131824), the English Romantic poet, was born.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":215,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ditelindje"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
