Botime Pegi

Pegi Sh.p.k. started its activity in the printing and publishing sector in 1994. It was founded with the purpose of creating a real connection between people and knowledge. Pegi intensified its efforts in the textbook publishing starting from 2005, when this sector was liberalized by the Albanian government. In 2011, the publishing department was formally separated from the parent company, which remained specialized in printing services. Botime Pegi was established as a publishing company and it is today one of the most active publishing houses in the textbook segment, growing rapidly also in the trade publishing sector. With ca. 120 school titles, Botime Pegi Publishing is the largest school publisher in Albania. Also, our trade publishing catalogue (literary and non-literary) counts more than 300 titles and it keeps growing. All our titles are present in libraries and bookstores all over Albania. Our reputation is based on the quality of our textbooks, that remain some of the most preferred titles by teachers and educational institutions in Albania. We are especially proud to have built one of the strongest teams in the Albanian publishing space: more than 30 years of accumulated experience and over 400 published titles. In 2014, we were awarded with the "Golden Bee" prize, in the “Belles Lettres” category, for our efforts and dedication to the publishing space in Albania. Other relevant awards include: • Best translation of the year: “Armëpushimi” (La tregua) by P. Levi, translated from Italian by Aida Baro (2017); “Jane Eyre” by C. Brontë, translated from English by Alina Karaulli (2014); • Best translation of the year in Kosovo (2013) for "Die Gefrorene Zeit" by A. Kim, translated from German by Afrim Koçi; • "Silver Pen" award as the best debut writer (2012) for Darien Levan with “Poetët bëjnë dashuri ndryshe"; • Best Children's Book (2012) for “Pas festës së Abetares” by Gaqo Bushaka.
