Re-Embracing the Sun – The new autobiographical book by Angela Kosta launched
Re-embracing the Sun, the new autobiographical book by Angela Kosta, is a work that touches the soul with a gentle yet profound step. Published by VELIERO APS within the Ombre series, the volume is born from a delicate period in the author’s life and presents itself as a journey of awareness, memory and rebirth.
With sincere and luminous writing, Angela opens her inner world, transforming pain into words and fragility into strength. Each chapter is a fragment of life that recomposes itself, a piece that returns to the reader the complexity of a human journey marked by loss, migration, motherhood, illness, faith and rebirth.
An author with an international voice
Born in Elbasan and residing in Italy since 1995, Angela Kosta is a prominent figure in the international literary landscape. Journalist, translator, essayist, literary critic and publisher, she has published 36 books in numerous languages and her works have been translated into 45 idioms. Her cultural activity has led her to collaborate with magazines, academies and institutions in Europe, Asia and America, receiving prestigious recognitions and appointments.
Her voice is one that crosses borders, cultures and generations. A book born from silence and returning to light. Re-embracing the Sun recounts a period of profound darkness: depression, experienced as a shadow that enters on tiptoe and envelops everything. The author describes with clarity and delicacy:
The loss of self, illness, the grief for her brother, the death of her mother, migration; the empty home, restlessness, fragility that becomes truth.
But she also tells what saves:
Her children, her grandchildren, faith, writing
Memory, the hope that returns
It is a book that does not ask for pity: it asks for listening. And in return, it offers a testimony of courage.
The images: evocative digital portraits
One of the most precious features of this edition is the presence of evocative digital portraits, created specifically to accompany the most intense chapters.
Not simple illustrations, but symbolic images that visually represent the author’s emotions, amplifying the reading and offering the reader an immersive dimension.
This care is the result of the meticulous work of the publishing house VELIERO APS, led by its president Francesca Gallello Gabriel Italo Nel Gómez, who dedicates artisanal attention to every work: if a book has value, the care dedicated to it must have value as well.
Interview with Angela Kosta:
– In the book you describe depression as “a dark shadow that enters on tiptoe.” When did you realize that your rebirth had begun?
When I saw a small light at the end of the tunnel. It wasn’t a sudden miracle, but a glimmer. The reduction of medication, the return to reading, the simple gesture of a magazine arriving punctually… these were the first signs that something was changing.
– Your children and grandchildren are central presences. What role did they play in your recovery?
They were my anchor. My children are the light that never goes out, my grandchildren the smile that breaks the silence. In them I found the strength to continue living.
– The loss of your brother and your mother are two deep wounds. How do they live today in your memory?
They are wounds that do not close, but become part of you. My brother is a memory that accompanies me, my mother a voice that remains. They continue to live in my gestures, in my thoughts, in my way of loving.
– Writing appears as a return to life. What does it represent for you today?
It is salvation. It is the place where I can transform pain into words and fragility into strength. Writing allowed me to find myself again.
– Is there a message you wish to leave to readers?
That even in the deepest darkness there is a light. Sometimes it is small, almost invisible, but it exists. And it is worth searching for.
RE- EMBRACING THE SUN is available in all Italian bookstores and in Amazon available on Amazon in three editions:
Kindle, Paperback, Hardcover
As the publisher, I wish to thank Angela Kosta for entrusting VELIERO APS with such an intense and luminous work. Her story is not just a book: it is an emotional legacy, a gesture of love that crosses time.
VELIERO APS is proud to welcome this title into its catalogue and to accompany the author in this new chapter of her journey.
