Lasgush Poradeci

Llazar Gusho, known as Lasgush Poradeci, was born on 27 December 1899 in Pogradec, on the shore of Lake Ohrid. A pupil at the Romanian lycée of Monastir, then at the Leonin lycée in Athens, he spent two years in a sanatorium before reaching Bucharest, where he took part in the patriotic movement of the Albanian colony. A scholarship from the Albanian state took him in 1924 to Graz, where he defended a doctorate in philology in 1933. A teacher in Tirana, without employment from 1944 to 1947, he then lived on translations for the state publisher until 1974. He died in poverty in Tirana on 12 November 1987.
