Description
The book Years of My Youth, as a continuation of the book Years of My Childhood in the series of Comrade Enver Hoxha’s reminiscences, acquaints the reader with that part of his life when he formed and consolidated the most important features of his character and world outlook, when he was nourished with the ideology of the proletariat, crystallized his conviction as a communist revolutionary, and sought and defined his only noble aim: to serve his own people, the cause of freedom, socialism and communism with devotion to the end. The book also makes an assessment of the world progressive culture, especially the culture of the French people, their revolutionary history, and the great men they have produced from their bosom.
Through many reminiscences and episodes from his student life, we see the figure of Enver Hoxha in the prime of his youth: thirsty for knowledge and culture, modest and sociable, far-seeing and full of spiritual force and with a clear mind for revolutionary action. With the invaluable teachings which it contains, the book, being the first newly released reminiscences of Comrade Enver Hoxha in English since 1984, is another source of inspiration and pride for the working masses, especially for the Marxist-Leninist education of the younger generation.
