Vol.36,No.1(2015)

Abstract
The essay aims to depict the concept of culture in the novels Il paese dove non si muore mai by Ornela Vorpsi and Rosso come una sposa by Anilda Ibrahimi. The analysis is carried out in relation to the research assumption of imagology. There are three parts: the first is dedicated to the image of woman, the second focuses on the theme of death, the third analyses the culture introduced by the regime of Enver Hoxha. The life of Albanians is constantly influenced by two factors: tradition e communism.

Keywords:
