Antiquity, battles, traditions, Doket culture, customs, men's assemblies and even folklore along with intellectual figures are a long summary of the voluminous book dedicated to the village of Rrajcë by the authors Mimoza Vasku and Flori Karaj.
An almost 8-year work collecting documents, witnesses and testimonies about this village, one of the largest in the national range. According to the authors, the purpose of this book is to highlight these values for the reader and future generations, bringing to attention the Neolithic period, the battles of Skënderbeu and the famous dance of Rrajca.
The value of this book is such, as it not only deals with the documented part but also the part transmitted from generation to generation. The book deals with the history of Rrajca over the centuries, from antiquity to our days.
Many years of history with spicy and important events. Chronologically, it starts from antiquity, which is scientifically treated by Dr. Prof. Ilir Gjipali, the book also talks about the tradition, the Rrajca guest house, as it was said in the promotion, the Rrajca has special values as a community, especially that it does not recognize blood feuds, but they love each other and stand by their side". "This is a work of several years, I am lucky to work in a publishing house and I found documents from the archives.
In addition to the historical events, we also had as a primary the Konak e Rrajce, which was a small parliament within a community where the smartest men of the village gathered, so we wrote about all the men from ancient times to the present day.
The story starts in the stone age, with the discoveries of the archaeologist Ilir Gjipali, who gave us the right materials. Then we have the period of wars such as the Battle of Torviolli, then there are the traditional racial wedding traditions.
It is not by chance that "Rrajca in the Heart" was established, because everything starts there with battles, wars, persecutions, but Rrajca remains the one who is strong, loyal and very dear to people. No matter how much you hurt a racist, he never hurts you".
Part of this promotion were well-known figures of Albanian political and cultural life. President Bamir Topi and Shkëlqim Hajdari referred that this village and its inhabitants deserve to be placed on such a pedestal for what they represent in different periods of development.
"I remember very well said former President Bamir Topi when I was in my youth, every time I passed towards the southeast, before the lake of Pogradec appeared to me, I was always impressed by a very picturesque village oriented to the south, on a hill very beautiful.
Over time I found out that this was Rrajcë. Of course, we have learned the battles of Torviolli and Domosdova since elementary school, but I discovered Rrajca later.
I discovered Rrajca for the sake of the friendship that I have built over many years with the author Flori, an honest and passionate man, and together with Mimoza, they brought such a beautiful monograph to the book. President Reagan had an interesting saying:
If you will love your country, you will also love your compatriots". Bringing this expression into the micro, if you love Rrajca, you will definitely have to appreciate all those who have been fellow travelers of Rrajca's history".
While Shkëlqim Hajdari said that "Rrajca, as described in the book, is a piece of Arberia, a piece of Illyria, a piece of Albania, where God has harmonized the mountain, the hill, the field with the people who, with the beauty of the soul, continue to inherit from generation to generation great love for the country, for each other, people who have shown bravery and gentleness in the different stages that Albania has gone through.
The authors have known that, in addition to identifying the historical figures of Rrajce, they weave beautifully that these figures did not appear in an empty place, but that they came from a community that loves the country, music, culture and believes in God. The book "Rrajce in Palce" ” has been highly appreciated by the local government, for Mayor Nuri Belba, the time has come for these values written in the book to be translated into tourism and agro-tourism, since together with the tourist sites that the area has, it offers a diverse tourist pact for locals and foreigners. ./ Balkan Web
