Sotir Athanasi was born in Athens on 26 May 1940 in an Albanian intellectual family. He was only six months old when his father, a mechanic engineer returned with his family in Tirana. When Sotir was only seven years old, he was left orphan.
Due to the notorious « class struggle » under the communist rule ( 1945 - 1990) he was denied the right to university studies and publication, although he was a gifted person for literature.
