Imun

In a world desperately seeking a cure for a virus, David, a doctor at the Sant'Angelo Research Institute in Milan, invents one, unaware that he is inventing his own end. Meanwhile, Greta, confined to the glass house on the Albanian Riviera, where every breath echoes like a memory, becomes an invisible witness to the clash between past and present. Because sometimes, more dangerous than any virus is the one that lives inside us.

In this bold and finely crafted novel, Tobias Xhaxhiu transforms the pandemic into a mirror of the human soul, where loneliness becomes a system, love an experiment and hope a biological illusion. A story about the fragile boundaries between salvation and loss, between science and feeling. Ultimately, the question arises: can we remain immune to what makes us human?

Tobias Xhaxhiu is an Albanian writer, playwright and screenwriter. He studied communication, visual arts and new media. His novel Memento Mori (2021) was awarded the Literary Creation Fund for Young People, while the theatre works Elektroshok (2022) and Dy Fytyrat e Janusit, winner of the Talia e Flakës 2025, have established him as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Albanian drama. In his work, thriller, introspection and visual aesthetics intertwine in a language that moves between the real and the imaginary, creating his hybrid universe between art and thought.
