It is published on the occasion of 16 October 2026 - the one hundred and eighteenth birthday of Enver Hoxha. november8ph.ca/political-eco…
NEW: A long overdue and awaited publication translated from Albanian to English - the New Albania's textbook on the Political Economy of Socialism. As people around the world work out what a national economy is and should be, it serves as a modest contribution to the discussion.
Today, 118 years ago, Enver Hoxha was born. A staunch patriot with a fiery Albanian heart, an erudite and Marxist thinker, a general and man of action, a statesman and tactician, a leader and teacher, for 45 years he headed efforts for a free, prosperious, new Albania.
COMING SOON: Political Economy (Socialism), a newly translated 1981 textbook prepared by the Institute of Economic Studies of the Academy of Sciences of the People's Socialist Republic of Albania.
NEW: The Selected Works of Migjeni, one of the brightest men of letters in the interwar world who utilised critical realism to paint a stark picture of his beloved, backwards Albania, yet his optimism convinced him that, in time, they would sing "songs the free Illyrians sang."
Although the great Migjeni succummed to tuberculosis in 1938, still in youth, his genius words against fascist aggression, religion and the then-rulers was found in the hearts of hundreds of thousands in their fight for freedom and to build a New Albania. november8ph.ca/selected-work…
NEW: Arben Puto's "From the Annals of British Diplomacy," analysing the stance of Great Britain's diplomacy towards Albania during the Second World War, from Ahmet Zogu's flight, to the Legaliteti and Balli Kombëtar, and its attempts to control the National Liberation Movement.
NEW: Pipi Mitrojorgji's "The First Railway," a diary from the 1947 construction of Albania's Durrës-Peqin railway, merely forty-three kilometres but representing the emergence of the country into the light, filled with enthusiasm, socialist emulation and everyday heroism.
Behind today’s empty, overgrown tracks there are thousands of individual stories — stories of people who drove in spike by spike, and for whom the rails were the key in an entire model for the future. november8ph.ca/the-first-rai…

NEW RELEASE: "Faithful to the Fatherland and the Calling" by Ivan Matović, recovering the overlooked role of Royal Yugoslav officers in the anti-fascist war.
The November 8th Publishing House retweeted
COMING SOON! On active officers of the Royal Yugoslav Army who stayed "faithful to the Fatherland and the calling" and fought on anti-fascist fronts, including organising, professionalising and, in some cases, leading the Partisan Army.
NEW: "The USSR and World Peace" by Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Vyshinsky, a collection of speeches at the United Nations during 1948-49, revealing the then-Soviet position on the most pressing international problems and their role in shaping the post-war order.
In this book, Vyshinsky put forward his view that the Anglo-Franco-American bloc consistently obstructed progress on arms reduction, the Greek Civil War, securing a unified Germany, international law and problems of human rights. november8ph.ca/the-ussr-and-…
New: "Confronting the Falsifiers of History" by Laver Stroka and Fitim Çaushi, a defence of the Anti-Fascist National Liberation War, in historical polemic form and originally published in the '90s Albanian environment of anti-communism and extremist historical revisionism.
The authors conclude, largely based on Anglo-American intelligence reports, that only the partisans led by Enver Hoxha fought the occupiers - and that the so-called "nationalists" such as the Balli Kombëtar were collaborators who aimed to incite civil war. november8ph.ca/confronting-t…
