He won several contests, honouring himself with awards for his unusual intellectual skills.
Faik Konica has since linked his life to his work and to the Albanian national movement. After publishing “brochure Albania and Turks” (1895) in Paris it is located in Brussels, where it releases the magazine “Albania”, which became the most important and authority body of our Renaissance. Published in Albanian, French and part-Turkish, as a true encyclopedia, it propagandaed for years (1897-1909) the Albanian National Movement programme, the history and culture of our people.
In 1909 Konica, how the magazine “Albana” was closed in London, invited by natives to the U.S., where it runs the newspaper “Sunelli” and then the newspaper “Krujarumpet”.
