New book on Eugène Pittard, the Swiss who founded the Albanian Red Cross

Ambassador of Switzerland Ruth Huber opened today the campaign on the figure and work of Eugène and Hélène Pittard in Albania and the latest book about the famous Swiss

The French edition of the book ‘The Last Journey of Eugène and Hélène Pittard’s to Albania’ opens the campaign to recognize the Swiss academic’s contribution to Albania.

“When Eugène Pittard and his wife Hélène first set foot in Albania, little did they know that they would fall in love with the country and its people. From that year in 1910, it seems like their life was marked by their shared passion for this small Balkan country”, said the Swiss Ambassador.

“Today we celebrate the life and work of a remarkable Swiss intellectual whose contributions to Albania have left an indelible mark on both our nations’ shared history. He is undoubtedly, a true Swiss-Albanian legacy”, Ambassador Huber also said.

“In fact, this is a cornerstone in Swiss-Albanian relations”, said the publisher of the book, Luan Rama. He mentioned the scientific, anthropological, humanitarian, educational and diplomatic mission of Pittard in the service of Albania.

During the activity, actresses Yllka Mujo and Elia Zaharia read pieces written by Eugène Pittard and Hélène Pittard, who was a well-known writer in Switzerland.

Eugène Pittard became Albania’s international spokesperson at a delicate time. He lobbied strongly for the country’s rights and sovereignty and played a vital role in Albania’s admission to the League of Nations in 1920. His most famous pamphlet ‘Pour L’Albanie’ published in the Geneva daily ‘La Suisse’ presents the real state of the country in that period, provides arguments and appeals for the recognition of Albania’s sovereignty.

The Albanian state at that time appointed Eugène Pittard Honorary Consul General in Geneva.

The publication of the book in Albanian and French will enable wider recognition of the forgotten story of the Swiss couple who did so much for Albania. The book is the fruit of many years of work by the author Kudret Isaj, with valuable contributions from the descendants of the Pittard family in Geneva.

The campaign to recognize the figure and contribution of Eugène Pittard for Albania continues with a series of other activities throughout 2024-2025.Botimi në frëngjisht i librit ‘Udhëtimi i mbramë i Eugène dhe Hélène Pittard në Shqipëri’ çel fushatën për njohjen e kontributit të akademikut zviceran për Shqipërinë.  

“Kur Eugène Pittard dhe gruaja e tij Hélène shkelën për herë të parë në Shqipëri, ata nuk e dinin se do të dashuroheshin me këtë vend dhe njerëzit e tij. Që nga ai vit 1910, duket se jeta e tyre u shënjua nga pasioni i përbashkët për këtë vend të vogël ballkanik”, tha Ambasadorja zvicerane.

“Sot ne festojmë jetën dhe veprën e një intelektuali të shquar zviceran, kontributet e të cilit për Shqipërinë kanë lënë gjurmë të pashlyeshme në historinë e përbashkët të të dy vendeve tona. Ai është padyshim një trashëgimi e vërtetë zvicerano-shqiptare”, tha gjithashtu Ambasadorja Huber.

“Në fakt ky është një gur themeli në marrëdhëniet zvicerano-shqiptare”, u shpreh botuesi i librit, Luan Rama. Ai përmendi misionin shkencor, antropologjik, humanitar, arsimor dhe diplomatik të Pittard në shërbim të Shqipërisë.

Gjatë aktivitetit aktoret Yllka Mujo dhe Elia Zaharia lexuan pjesë të shkruara nga Eugène Pittard dhe nga Hélène Pittard e cila ishte shkrimtare e njohur në Zvicër. 

Eugène Pittard u bë zëdhënësi ndërkombëtar i Shqipërisë në një kohë delikate. Ai loboi fuqishëm për të drejtat dhe sovranitetin e vendit dhe luajti një rol jetik në pranimin e Shqipërisë në Lidhjen e Kombeve në vitin 1920. Pamfleti i tij më i famshëm ‘Pour L’Albanie’ i botuar në të përditshmen ‘La Suisse’ të Gjenevës paraqet gjendjen reale të vendit në atë periudhë, jep argumente dhe bën apel për pranimin e sovranitetit të Shqipërisë.

Shteti shqiptar në atë kohë e emëroi Prof. Eugène Pittard Konsull të Përgjithshëm Nderi në Gjenevë.

Botimi i librit në shqip dhe në frëngjisht do të mundësojë njohjen më të gjerë të historisë së harruar të çiftit zviceran të cilët bënë aq shumë për Shqipërinë. Libri është fryt i një pune shumë-vjeçare nga autori Kudret Isaj, me kontribute të çmuara nga pasardhës të familjes Pittard në Gjenevë.

Fushata për njohjen e figurës dhe kontributit të Eugène Pittard për Shqipërinë vijon me një seri aktivitetesh të tjera përgjatë 2024-2025.
