Petraq Zoto

Zoto writing on the impressions of his encounter with Spasse was sent to the newspaper Zëri i Rinisë (Voice of Youth), but wasn't published.

With the membership and active frequentation of the literary class of the Culture Palace (Alb: Pallati i Kulturës) in Korçë, came a big jump in the quality of his works.

Inspired by the patriotic work of Themistokli Gërmenji, Mihal Grameno, Jovan Kosturi, Sevasti Qiriazi, and others, he published in 1981 a collection of historical stories.

Zoto's moto was "The literature is not a battlefield, where the writers struggle to grab the trophies from one another, but a huge field where each one works his own parcel, waters it, takes care of it, and at the end harvests its desired fruits.

Zoto created real personages based on his own personal experience, also on his life events, his ancestors, and influenced by the elite of the writers of Korçë region, such as Sterjo Spasse, Dritero Agolli, Sotir Andoni, Vasil Xhaçka, Teodor Laço, Vangjush Ziko, Petraq Kolevica, Petraq Samsuri, etc.

[5] As one of the pioneers of the short stories genre of the Albanian literature, he is established as a strong narrator, who possessed the ability and literary strength of creating realistic personages with a sharp sense of both "the possible" and "the unpredictable".
