The novel *“Anonim Profan Wor(l)d”* by Rexhep Murtez Shala, is the result of three earlier ones: *“Papa Global Wor(l)d”*, *“Opium Alter Wor(l)d”*, and *“Fama Real Wor(l)d”*.
From the very first page, the writer gives us the essence of the entire novel. Shala’s five worlds are linked to the five continents of the Earth. The event has neither time nor place.
It seems to encompass the whole history of humankind, speaking of all eras by melting them into a single one.
Political systems come and go, all alike. The *Autocrat* appears as the true ruler—uneducated, and surrounded by uneducated people whom he uses for his own needs. Through *the daughter* *of* *the composer*, he presents a castaway artist referred to as a “metaphysical wanderer,” and after the artist’s death, their work disappears.
The elements that dominate the novel from beginning to end are: power, corruption, sex, and wealth.
Reading the novel creates the impression of an endless fog. In this fog, characters emerge, triumph, and fall quite naturally; here there is no triumph of ideals or of love, because it does not exist at all in this novel as a pure feeling.
Religion does not appear anywhere. Shala seems to have crossed the boundaries of religion, leaving human beings free to live, to gain, but quickly to fall into the abyss; hell is found within their lives. In this human fog, egoism is strongly emphasized.
In this novel there is no sun; it is not mentioned anywhere, nor is nature.
The novel presents the generation of children known as *“test-tube bastards,”* created by sperm donors who leave their sperm to be scattered and disappear across the world.
A generation of experiments for a high-technology world, with above-normal intelligence coefficients, forgetting the Creator—and it is precisely this generation that endangers the world by erasing history.
Here, the projects of this generation are discussed: a total transformation of the world—a world of drugs, sex, and various opiates.
The word *mother* is never mentioned. Here appear *women* of various professions, portrayed as pleasure-seekers of all worlds; eroticism here overpowers intellectual instinct. There is no family warmth, no parental love, no real love.
In the novel, every kind of success or glory achieved through opportunistic and immoral means is undone through torturous or annihilating methods.
The characters appear on stage, live, become wealthy, and fall; here human drama is repeated.
According to *“Anonim Profan Wor(l)d”* all people are corruptible and mortal, because the only immortal entity is the Universe.
