Mbrothësia (eng. Progress) was an Albanian printing press that operated between 1896 and 1947. It was an important institution for the development of the Albanian National Awakening. Initially its works started in the city of Sofia in Bulgaria, where an Albanian comunity had formed early on.[1] In 1921 it transfered the operations in Tirana, where it functioned until just after World War II. It was established by Kristo Luarasi.[2][3]
It printed books from members of different Albanian colonies of the time, mainly from Bucharest, Istanbul and several cities in Egypt. The newspaper Drita, and a highly popular almanach called Kalendari Kombiar were both printed there.[4] The press initially operated using the Istanbul alphabet, with types cut in Bucharest, before switching to the unified Albanian alphabet in 1908.[3] It was nationalised in 1947 during communism in Albania.
