Since 2009, Varfi has pursued a long-term editorial and research project devoted to Albanian history, language and culture. This work later evolved into ๐๐ญ๐ฃ๐ข๐ฏ๐ช๐ข๐ฏ ๐๐ฉ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ช๐ค๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด, a multilingual project through which he explores historical events, personalities, documents and lesser-known aspects of Albaniaโs past for an international readership.
His writing moves between fiction and non-fiction, combining narrative construction with documentary research. From the atmosphere and psychological tension of mystery fiction to the study of history, language and cultural memory, his work reflects a continuing interest in the relationship between individual lives, identity and the broader forces of history.
